The art being commissioned for the Guide follows the general direction given on in the article. And because the term "church" brings along too many erroneous connotations, it is being replaced. Several other features that were really devices of the RQIII rules are gone (since Glorantha no longer even officially uses RuneQuest as its rules system).

> Way back in the 1990ies we discussed Thracian cataphracts rather than 16th century bullet-proof cuirasses as a model for Loskalmi knights.

I tend to think more Seulicid Successor or Sassanid cataphracts myself, but we're are on the same page.
