Whoops, I see Nick's beaten me to the punch. Though Andre, isn't Trowjang a region within Genertela?

[Just searching the archives for my schlocky Tolat stuff though, I came across a post wherein I mentioned in passing that my wife - whose interest in things Gloranthan was and remains approximately nil - was told the God Learner Secret by someone who Jim Hacker would describe as a "source close to Number 10". I wonder if she still remembers it?

I do recall annoying someone back then who smugly proclaimed that HE knew the God Learner Secret, and could express it in 5 words (not that he was going to tell, nyah, nyah, nyah). In a spirit of pure devilment (and because I knew it would annoy the heck out of him), quick as a flash I replied, "That's odd, Greg told me *he* only needed *3*..." This had our chum in mental anguish for the rest of the night, rationalising that Stafford's words obviously didn't included conjunctions like "and" or prepositions like "the". I just smiled knowingly.

(Much later, when I told Stafford the story, he chuckled and said that, come to think of it, he *could* express the GLS in 5 words, or even 3 if he wanted...)

Does the GL secret still have currency in Heroquest?]

Cheers,

MOB
