The Mystery of Argrath; How One Man Became a God.

Notes on This Edition
After nearly a quarter century, King of Sartar is now back in print, now fully revised and annotated. This is one of the most important sources of Gloranthan mythology and lore ever written and a must-have for any fan of Glorantha. It is also a work of experimental fiction, a fantasy novel unlike any other.
Thanks to better layout, the book is actually shorter (256 pages) despite have significant amounts of new material, including:
- The Lost Chapter of Fazzur Wideread
Annotations giving out the actual dates of the Sacred Kings and of other Hero Wars events (instead of the wildly inaccurate dates in the original edition)
- Countless corrections and additions intended to provide new information for the reader
- Corrected genealogies
- Corrected timelines
- New and better maps
Although the book still contains deliberate internal contradictions and inconsistencies, annotations and other notes allow the Gloranthan scholar to determine the actual dates used by Greg and Jeff. King of Sartar is your guide to the events of the Hero Wars.
