Kralorela Q&A

I have been tidying up my stuff a lot recently — or rather the missus coerced me into tidying up — and at least the good thing is that I have recovered a lot of beloved belongings I’d thought lost, like the RQ3 boxed sets or the Mongoose RuneQuest Lankhmar books. One of the things I’ve found is my notebook with all my scribblings from Eternal Con 2017, and in particular the notes I took at a Q&A Jeff Richard gave during the con. They are already on the blog, but its always good to re-read the original. Here is the snippet about my current interests (I am running a campaign set in eastern Genertela):


Q: Why doesn’t Godunya do anything against Can Shu?

A: Ignorance is part of the balance of the universe. And at least it’s controlled where it is [in Chern Durel]. If Can Shu were to be crushed, who knows where Ignorance would re-surface... maybe in Kralorela itself?


Q: What is the procedure to find a new emperor?

A: Who knows? There isn’t anybody left around from the last time this happened!


Q: I want to know more about Orathorn.

A: It will be in the 13th Age in Glorantha Sourcebook.

[Well, I’ve just checked, and except for a paraphrase of what we already know about the Nights of Horror from the Guide to Glorantha, there is absolutely nothing new ☹️]

    It is not official at all but did you see that entry about Orathorn in that Pent tumblr? I don't even know if they are really supposed to be Brithini Necromancers:
