Searching the web with Google and the keywords Glorantha and potato I = come up with two answers that I find particularly interesting. On Jane's = page
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~janewill/gloranth/jareel.htm
I find this text:
"Aelwrin's plunder of the holy Frantic Ground and the rape of the = dowager Priest-Mother brought Jareel into combat, followed swiftly by = the defeat of the rebels. Captured again, Aelwrin tried to kill himself = rather than peel another potato for the Empire."
She says that is from White Bear Red Moon (which I do not own). I = suppose we can conclude that the Lunar Empire has access to potatoes.
On the page
http://www.csc.tcd.ie/~gamers/andrew/game/glorantha/arir/honeel.html
it says:
Nevertheless the cult has played a subtle but significant role in the = expansion of the empire. Phargentes, a Lunar king of Tarsh, described = this role succinctly with his epithet: "Give a man potato bread and = onions, and he'll be ours for a day. Teach h im to plant maize and he'll = by ours forever."
Apparently, Andrew, the author of this home page believes that Tarshites = have access to potatoes.
The home page gives us a long source list:
a.. "The Cult of Hon-eel the Artess" is an unashamedly derivative work. =
I am deeply indebted to the following sources for the material presented =
in this essay.=20
b.. "Cults of the Lunar Empire" by Steve Maurer.=20
c.. "The History of the Lunar Empire - The Fifth Wane" by Greg Stafford. =
d.. "The Cult of the Seven Mothers" in "Cults of Prax" by Greg Stafford =
and Steve Perrin.=20
e.. "The Fortunate Succesion" by Greg Stafford.=20
f.. "The Composite History of Dragon Pass" in "King of Sartar" by Greg =
Stafford.=20
g.. "Cults Prospedia" in "Gods of Glorantha" by Greg Stafford, Sandy =
Petersen, Steve Perrin and Charlie Krank.=20
h.. "Hon-eel the Artess" in "Wyrms Footprints" by Greg Stafford.=20 i.. "The Cult of Ernalda" in "Introduction to Glorantha" by Greg = Stafford, Sandy Petersen and Lynn Willis.=20 j.. "The Cult of Dorasta" in "Dorastor - the Land of Doom" by Greg = Stafford, Sandy Petersen, Troy Bankert and Oliver Jovanovic.=20 k.. "Hop Wars" by David Hall in "Tales of the Reaching Moon #2"=20
I have not managed to find the word potato/potatoes in any of the home = pages mentioned in the source list. Nor have I found it in Wyrms = Footprints. Therefore I must assume that this Phargentes-quote is the = invention of Andrew (the author of the home page) himself. If someone = knows something else, please inform me and the rest of this mailing = list.
