Hello all! Long-time lurker, first time (I think?) poster!
I'm thinking about starting a Heroquest game this summer, based out of
the Castle Coast. Which is notoriously under-detailed, even for the
West.
So, since I've not had good luck finding the HeroWars Glorantha book,
and can't afford E-bay prices for the RuneQuest stuff, I thought I'd
tap the collective grognard-y knowledge of the list.
- Are there still Hsunchen in Sehsnela? I've read the Issaries page
on the Hsunchen, but I'm not entirely clear if there are still Basmoli
hsunchen in the region - are there even /lions/ still in Seshnela?
- What are your thoughts on krjalki saints? I know it'd be completely
unthinkable in Rokari Seshnela, but the old-style Hrestoli on the
Castle Coast seem a lot like the type to never throw away a Saint. The
Christian legend of Saint Christopher Cynecephalos is serving as the
basis of a Troll Saint in my Glorantha - connections to Stygian
Heresies and Arkat will be made, of course.
- Do we ever find out WHY the Luathans destroyed old Seshnela? I've
got my own game-related theory, but I was wondering if I'd be
contradicting any established in game reasoning.
- And moving south, but staying in the West - the Timinits of
Jrustela? The online sources I've been able to find aren't clear as to
their intelligence level. Are they low-but-still-human intelligence,
clever ape level, or normal intelligence and just very primitive? If a
ship's crew were crazy enough to take, say, a Spider Timinit on board
- would it be more mentally suited to being a ship's mascot, or a
cabin boy?
Thanks!
