Game Summary

“Know then, oh Prince, that in the Sea Season after the Battle of the Queens was Colymar’s Black Spear sent forth to rouse Argrath from his slumbers.”

An epic saga of the Hero Wars, festooned with heroquests and deep Gloranthan weirdness. Probably the strangest thing I’ve ever written. Designed as a follow-up to The Duel at Dangerford, but it also works as a stand-alone mini-campaign. Canonically set in Sea Season 1627, with suggestions at the back of the book for changing things around. Illustrated lavishly by Mike O’Connor: 50 pictures, one or two songs, some poetry, not many stat-blocks.

10 / 10rabbithatI'm calling it now: in the game's 40+ year history this is one of the greatest scenarios ever written for RuneQuest and the world of Glorantha. And it's certainly one of the most beautifully illustrated, thanks to Mike O'Connor's radiant colour art!
