Griffin Mountain is 256 pages (plus 12 pages of player handouts on the citadels, inns, and the like) of the legendary land of Balazar, plus the dangerous Elder Wilds to the north. Some of the new stuff we've added include magazine articles about Balazaring clans written by Rudy and Paul, a large section on running Gloranthan campaigns by Greg Stafford, over 30 new pieces of art, and several pages of designer's notes. We even added in a few of the new bits that were in Griffin Island, like Granny Keeneye and the maps of the major Inns in the three Citadels. A lifetime of campaigns.

Gloranthan Classics Volume IV - Borderlands & Beyond is an updated and reformatted 300+ page reprint of ALL of the information from the original Borderlands boxed set, Plunder, and Runemasters, as written for the Runequest 2 rules. I have also included additional Plunder items, expanded Runemasters character histories, and loads of background info from Nomad Gods and Wyrms Footnotes magazine. The interior is lavishly illustrated with dozens of new pictures from Simon Bray, Dario Corallo, plus loads of oldies but goodies from Lisa Free, Luise Perrinne, Gene Day and Rick Becker.

The Trader Princes of Maniria

Across Maniria with Sword and Silvertongue...

The Trader Princes preside over a network of interlocked noble Houses ruling vast tracts of Maniria through treaties, bargains, and pacts. Over four hundred years ago, the Closing blocked all sea travel, and Saint Caselain began his epic journey from Ralios to Esrolia to save his people. He bargained with non-human krjalki, blue-stained barbarians, and beast-worshipping savages to establish his Trade Path. Since then, the Trader Princes have grown wealthy and powerful as caravans carrying goods from everywhere travel under the protection of their knights and castles.

Forty years ago, the seas Opened, undoing everything. Many Houses have sunk into despair and decay, abandoning their heritage to become petty lords over barbarian peoples. However, a few struggle to retain their way of life, seeking new paths as they following in the footsteps of their saintly founder, Caselain the Wanderer.

Lunar Herobands, Heroes, and Anti-heroes

The Lunar Empire is a vibrant and dynamic empire of numerous different peoples, leagues, associations and gatherings, and its heroes are shaped by their social interactions, from the intrigue and debauchery of Moonson's Court to the day-to-day jokes and negotiations of the bazaar.

This book is built around the Immanent Action Liberation, a mighty political alliance committed to spreading the Lunar Way abroad and strengthening its political role and religious voice at home. The leagues and organizations within this alliance range from conspiratorial cabals of schemers to rough-edged military units, from canny merchants to open-handed missionaries.

Thirteen of these organizations are detailed here, including the sword-dancing Cossacks of the Varzum Paragons, the dog-soldiers of the Turzah Hounders and the Lorelords of Ershkintu, with their dwarf-forged underground scoutship. Each is fully detailed, and comes with its own story seeds, adventure outlines and background information to allow it to be integrated into games set anywhere in Glorantha.

The book also contains fourteen narrator-characters working for, with or sometimes against the Association. They range from an honorable judge whose investigations may uncover the Association’s darkest secret, to a three-quarters mad duck assassin and a trading magnate with murderous ambitions. Each is fully detailed and again twinned with narrator’s advice and information to maximize their use to any game.

These organizations and individuals can be allies, enemies or patrons of the player-heroes. They also each illustrate something about the complexity of Imperial life and be used as they are or simply for inspiration as part of the backdrop for games in the Empire.

Champions of the Reaching Moon is intended for both players and narrators.

The Lunar Empire has been defeated at the Battle of Iceland. Orlanth is free, and across Dragon Pass and the world the winds have been released. This is the time to strike, the time for heroes to raise the rest of the land against the Empire, begin quests that will take years to bear fruit, and finally to aid Kallyr as she returns a lost planet to the sky and upsets the plans of the Empire.

Gathering Thunder is the third book of the Sartar Rising campaign. It continues the epic struggle of the Heortlings against the Lunar Empire, building on the events and information provided in Barbarian Adventures and Orlanth is Dead!, the first two books of the series. Gathering Thunder includes several scenarios set in Dragon Pass, each a testing ground for heroes as they rise to become leaders in the rebellion.

We are all One. The Lunar Way binds the empire together, the peoples together and even the inner parts of one's soul. The Red Moon leads and joins. The Lunar religions embraces All. The religion of the Red Goddess is one of the basic forces holding Her multi-ethnic empire together, and this book is about that religion.

This second volume of the Imperial Lunar Handbook details the spiritual Lunar Way in all its contradictions and certainties. Look past the facade of evil and decadence and deep into the brilliance and liberty of the great Empire. It provides background information on the religion, new specialized and advanced occupation keywords for Imperial characters, and over 50 denominations in the unique Lunar Magic System.

Mythic Russia takes you to the world of Russian myth, history and folklore, a land just freeing itself from the Mongol Yoke and already beginning to face threats from the armoured knights of Europe, a land of deep, dark forests and onion-domed citadels, a land where Christianity is often a thin veneer over the Old Faith, a land of peasants and heroes, of dragons and bathhouse-spirits and...the flame-feathered Firebird.

After all, few peoples have suffered as much through their history as the Russians – periodic foreign invasions, famines, poor soils, hot summers and arctic winters, insane and capricious rulers, you name it – and few have retained their humour, dignity and culture so well. One manifestation has been in their traditional folklore and a mythologised version of their history. Russian folklore is a rich in variety and drama as Russian history, as strongly influenced by other cultures… and as striking a mix of the entertaining and the macabre. Tales of heroic figures and the chronicles of proud cities stand alongside (and as often mix with) a huge body of folktale and legend.
