Runequest Stories

Jeremiah the Fifth was a lowly villager, the son of the hamlet's best healers not that there were any others. He trained under the guidance of his father, Jeremiah the Fourth, commonly referred to as Healer J, for the first 15 years of his insignificant life. He spent most of his spare time with Hearth the village 'storyteller'. Hearth was an old man of around in his 60's who had traveled far and wide in his youth completing many quests all over Glorantha. Jeremiah liked just to sit and listen to Hearth's tales with the odd question and interjection. It was when Jeremiah had just turned fifteen years of age that Hearth murdered by a mysterious stranger one blowy winter night. That is where this story begins. This is the backstory to Jeremiah the Fifth a character I play in the Role Playing Game, Runequest. The chapters are very short as this is my first book. I also don't now much about Glorantha the world in which this story is set so it might be a bit off. I hope you enjoy the story anyway.

These are the chronicles of Bael, onetime Priest of Lhankor Mhy the Lightbringer and God of Knowledge, as he travels across the continent of Glorantha. Glorantha is a fantasy world created by Greg Stafford. It was first introduced in the board game White Bear and Red Moon (1975) by Chaosium, and thereafter in a number of other board, roleplaying and computer games, including Rune Quest and HeroQuest, as well as several works of fiction and the computer strategy game King of Dragon Pass. I wrote this story as a homage to Steve Perrin and Greg Stafford for making my childhood so much richer than it could have been. I hope to do justice to their powerful legacy.

A story based off of the tabletop roleplaying game runequest

A myth explaining how a semi-precious stone first entered a magical world. This story is based in the fantasy world of Glorantha, as used in Runequest and other roleplaying games. It's written in the style of an ancient oral myth. If you're not familiar with the characters don't worry. Elmal is your typical sun god; hot, fiery, and passionate. Esrola is an earth goddess; wise, clever, and patient.
