Without giving anything away... I wrote at least the first draft of that. I still don't recommend vendref as player characters, *especially* if one of the PCs is a Grazer. (It can work in one-offs, but I think the disparity in social standing is too great.)

Playing serfs who aren't allowed to leave their homes just doesn't seem like a good introduction to Glorantha. There are no intrigues that the vendref can engage in. They have limited magic. They aren't allowed to use weapons in most circumstances.

If you want to be a downtrodden character, play a Fonritan slave. At least t here everyone's a slave, so they actually have a lot more freedom.
