I learned a lot the last time, so thank you Veeky Forums. I've got a couple of questions and observations. I'[m learning more about Glorantha by taking it easy and starting it from the beginning. It's fascinating how Glorantha apparantly begins by showing the end first, with White Bear and Red Moon depicting the Hero Wars.
I'm just starting to read Griffin Mountain. According to this site, waynesbooks.com/runequest.html, it's the second major book after Cults of Prax. After reading some complaints on the net about how it's always about goddamn Dragon Pass, I find it really hilarious that the first major supplements for Glorantha just sidestep that region entirely and focus on Prax and Balazar. I can set entire campaigns in both of those places without touching Agrath and in the future, it seems like I won't read about Dragon Pass at all anytime soon since up until RQ3, most supplements focus on different things. Like trolls. Trolls get a shitload of books what the hell.
When will I get to read about Sartar?
Next questions, what the hell did it mean when it said that Waha got healed by Pavis? I thought Gods don't manifest in the world anymore after Time? There are other details like that too, is there some way to incarnate a God in Glorantha?
Pavis and other citygods are more like large spirits then gods if I recall correctly. Info on that is in Pavis & Big Rubble.

Generally, any sufficiently powerful worshipper of a god is indistinguishable from their god.
When Renvald Meldekbane called Orlanth to manifest in the world to fight the monstrous chaos thing Zistor, it may also have been Renvald filling himself with Orlanth's power, something commonly called Heroforming.
Was the Waha that Pavis injured and healed the god, a man incarnating the god, or something in between?
Interesting. Thanks Anons! Was there ever Heroquesting rules for Runequest or was that only ever a Heroquest thing?
>Androgeus >CF of 20 means s/he's as strong as Harrek the Berserk and Jar-Eel the Razoress and about 2000 warriors give or take Who is this mysterious person?
I don't think there was anything official ruleswise, although I think the new version will.
As for Androgeus, they're a contradictory demigod stuck between opposites. They don't have a massive list of events they've taken part in IIRC.

Anyone has made they own little animal tribes for Prax?
Jackson Martin
Not myself but I recall in an old thread someone talked about making an Elephant tribe.
Thomas Wood
Would a member of some Arkat cult be a sorcerer with a grimoire or more of a theist? This is important.
Christopher Campbell
Depends on their origin. If they're from an area with a tradition of sorcery then the former, but if they've come to worshipping Arkat through his aspect as a Humakti hero, then the latter.
Caleb Nelson
IMG prax has a whole bunch of tiny tribes one clan/family in size: >Short Llama Tribe (because why else would they be high llamas?) >Pig Tribe >River Horse Tribe (live in rivers and marshes with their ugly beasts) >Ibex Tribe (never call them the goat tribe)
