New cults book(s)

[khazwind]

Since we have a new version of MRQ (and new source books are promised), could I ask for a more exhaustive selection of cults?

Cults 1 and 2 were okay, but not (I´m sorry to say) brilliant and missing several cults.

Frex, where is Krarsht? I know there´s a big discussion as to the prevalence of Chaos in 2A, but she´s still there.

Also, where is Yelorna? Her cult was almost destroyed by Arkat and pushed Eastward. They end up in Prax by 3A. Some info would be greatly appreciated.

As a follow up, what about the non-human religions? Are they going to be as well detailed in the "Bumper Book of Races" as they were for MRQ1*? or is any cult book going to cover them?

*The Aldryami and Dragonnewt books were outstanding.

Race specific cults are ostensibly being covered in the two races books. However, there might be some crossover between Cults and Races for gods which are worshipped outside that species.

Due to space limitations in these 'race bumper books' we can't be exhaustive as to number of gods covered, but what we're trying to do is, where possible, give a little more depth to the cults themselves. For example in the Troll Cults there will be more description of things like cult promotion ceremonies, gifts and geases, the names of their HeroQuests and what part of the deity's myths they pertain to.

For races like the Dragonewts whose religions are particularly weird, the cult write-ups haven't changed much because they are more philosophies and lack any direct relationship with an entity offering power or reward for its worship.

I hope that answers my part of your question.

There's a whole bunch of cults in the new volume that haven't appeared before...
