The Blood of Orlanth

Page history last edited by Bruce Mason 13 years, 5 months ago

Glorantha The Second Age:: Season 2, The Blood of Orlanth


 

A man fights with his sword, a dragon fights with fire a sorcerer fights with lies. How will you fight for the Blood of Orlanth?

 

Dark Season 908 and the second harvest in a row has failed. The Orlanthi of Heortland are calling this The Long Winter and many claim that the end of the world is nigh.

 

The EWF army has crossed the Marzeel and set up camp. Rumours about the siege of the Clanking City are flying thick and fast. Many say that the King Androfin the Defiant has sent warbands to join the EWF in the siege which is why the EWF army has still made no overtly hostile moves. It might also explain why the Orlanthi clans of the Solthi River feel that they have been abandoned as Androfin moves his forces south.

 

The player characters have found themselves guests of the Howling Wolf Clan; one of the two clans holding territory along the Solthi River. The chieftain, Orlgard, has offered them guest rights in return for hunting, information and defence duties. There is, however, tension. Orlgard's sister - Vinya - has been arguing that the clan must accept reality and make peace with the dragon so she and Aslander - a recently-initiated but rather quiet about it Dragon-Slayer - don't see eye to eye. Her son, Theorl, however stands to inherit the role of chieftain now that all of Orlgard's 7 sons have died, so she is not a good person to cross. Then, one dark and stormy night the clan is feasting on a rare treat - three deer - when the door blows open and Deorlaf staggers in. His cottage is under attack and on fire...
