Description
Glorantha: Genertela, Crucible of the Hero Wars (Avalon Hill), boxed supplement for RuneQuest
“The year is 1621 S.T.
ALL ACROSS THE VAST CONTINENT OF GENERTELA, prophets, priests and madmen speak of imminent war, of a new and cataclysmic conflict that will inflame all the lands and threaten all established powers. The leaders in this coming series of wars will be heroes and even demigods, bearing awesome and terrifying magic from beyond the earthly plane. Already the first events of the Hero Wars have come to pass in such lands as Maniria, where the once proud Holy Country has been defeated in battle, its lands and cities isolated or conquered, and its leader, the Pharaoh, lost to the knowledge of men.
In villages, forts and cities of every land in Genertela, brave men and women are preparing themselves for war, and questing for magic to aid in their survival should the prophesied conflicts ensue. This supplement provides a complete background for campaigns set in the first phase of the Hero Wars of Glorantha. All the lands of Genertela are examined, and current events and personalities of importance to the Hero Wars are outlined.”
