Non-human sorcery

[PhilHibbs]

I'm a little disappointed that there's no sorcery for either Ducks or Trolls in the Races of Glorantha Vol 1. Ducks I can understand, but the Uz have always had sorcery. Well, at least since Arkat.

Ducks got sorcerers too, I bet (?!?)

anyway I had one, long time ago ...

 

[PhilHibbs]

Well, everyone has had a duck sorceror (at least, everyone that matters) but they don't exactly fit in to the Gloranthan cultural landscape.

 

[hegan]

what ? Everyone ?!?!?

Gosh ....

This is disappointing. Arkat Kingtroll is an important element in my game.

Will there be any references to the shattered cult(s) of Arkat in Cults of Glorantha?

Don't forget that the God Learners relatively recently smashed the Arkati of Ralios and shattered the united cults/pantheon, driving it underground and stealing many of its secrets.

So, the cult os Arkat is a persecuted one, not useful for open worship.

Even trolls don't have it as a major cult. At the time of the Dark Empire, the Arkat cult was a ruling cult, but always took second place to the Kyger Litor cult and to the cult of the Only Old One. After the fall of the Dark Empire, the Arkat cult is the cult of troll sorcery, and even that becomes tarnished as the trolls see more and more of the dangers that sorcery brings.

Everyone that matters. So, all that time you could have been rolling a duck sorceror, what were you wasting your time on?

I was rolling up Ulerian Baboons...
