'''Secret'''

The Devil tempted us with, ''We are all of us, Chaos is everything.''

To which I replied, ''In such a world, we do not exist. In a world with no I, there is no We. The individual has rights just as important as the group!''

Thus, we expressed true Unity, as pronounced by Umath, Orlanth, and Heort, and all the good gods and goddesses, which is Freedom. Only by mutual respect can people truly be free and know peace. With false unity, when people are not allowed to say, "I will," then tyranny reigns. As Yelm, as the Dragons, and now Shepelkirt. True unity has difference but harmony. False unity is stagnant and prey to the Devil.

We will resist, and save the world again! I fought, We won!

Gods War Heroquest secret TBD. Suggestions are:
*We know the secret of Unity in Temptation.
*We know the secret of Harmonious Unity.

*Plagued by Broos.

*Sheep Herding

'''Clan Notes'''

*We hold Arkat as a great but flawed hero

'''Clan Myths'''

Our ragged Clan marched with the Storm Bull at the last battle against Wakboth.

'''Attitudes to Lunars'''

*Lunar Friendly 0%
*Lunar Hostile 100%

== Backstory ==

Sargandi the Reckless is a Shieldthane of the Narri clan and budding initiate of Helamakt.

Sargandi has dedicated his life to the pursuit of two things to near exclusion: war and women. And he has a natural aptitude with both. Socially he seeks to be admired and desired for his exemplary martial prowess. Combined with his reckless nature this has tended to keep him living on a razor's edge of exciting but deeply risky behaviour. He has never turned down a call to battle and only rarely to the bedroom.

The perfect defeat of an enemy for Sargandi involves a successful single combat demonstrating his superiority on the battlefield followed by an evening spent sneaking into that selfsame enemies bedroom. Fortunately he saves this particular dual victory for enemy tribes. Mostly.

*[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/And_The_Creek_Don%27t_Rise:Main_Page wiki]

== Roan Garansson the Adventurous Mercenary ==

Since birth Roan was at one with the horses of the clan, a natural rider, raised on mare milk. His initiation led him to Orlanth adventurous though, not Elmal as might be expected, for he lacked the dedication, fire and truthful nature of those men. Instead he rode out and headed East, in the train of his father, an important Thane of the clan. Off to find new bloodlines for their Clan's herd and possible allies with the Tribes of the Eastern edge of Sartar.

Unlike his father, Roan didn't come back. He stayed........ First traveling with the Pol Joni, and then a member of a fierce warband of the Verge, made up of Men of The Dundealos Tribe and their Pol Joni allies. He fought his way up and down the edge of Prax, fighting Uz and Torkani to the North, Dedra to the East , and finally the Lunars to the West.

Then, one day a rider returned to the wetlands of the Narri, A follower of Ulanin, astride a Sered stallion, a foreign Horse, larger than the Galana ponies of the clan. The swirls of Orlanth upon it's dusty flanks , it spoke as if a man.

Stories followed, some heroic, some unkind, of a warband destroyed and a lone survivor....

Roan found himself under his Uncle's protection... His father dead, from an ill fated excursion to the Upland Marsh. So now, a housecarl to a near stranger and in a land barely remembered....

Highly competitive, the once mercenary, has stirred up his clan, especially amongst those Elmali which follow Beren.

He's rangy like his horse; fast, competitive and not worried where his armbands come from. He's trouble and needs ruling with an Iron grip.

The whispered stories of his past, his reputation as a mercenary for other clans, haunt him, but the truth more so: for he is a wanted rebel......

== Backstory ==

Helvam Stormsorrow is a Priest of Orlanth Thunderous, a sad mystic who is wise in the Godworld.
A Cottar who became great, the old man earned cows during campaigns against Tarsh.
When his 3 sons were crucified by the Lunars, he went to the mountains to question Orlanth.
The storm answered.
Now the old farmer commands Ohorlanth's storms and Lightbringer secrets.
He has iron fists, can Walk Anywhere, and can see Lunar magic.

His closest kin are his daughter, Karyne Greenweaver, and Black Hoof, a bull who deigns to carry the priest on his back, in exchange for beer.

<blockquote>
I'd like to see Helvam as a full time priest who used to be a farmer and had some success back in the old days (perhaps one of his sons was a Carl, and he was left with a bit of land and a few cows. He's certainly a Carl socially now, and the keyword is from what he knows how to do.) As a community priest, he's busy full time casting rune stones, leading worship, advising the Dar and keeping bachelor warriors out of trouble - and blasting Lunars with wind and lightning when it's time for battle. He probably lives either at the clan shrine (tending it) with occasional visits to his daughter's family (one of the times he smiles is when playing with her kids.) Black Hoof is a huge black bull who you know is intelligent just from his eyes and gets a vote in the clan moot - when he came down from Kero Fin, he was riding the ancient Bull, who's virility has given the clan wealth. He eats, sleeps and worships with Black Hoof, who is as close as any family. Black Hoof can talk, but only to the old Priest and to Initiates of Bull cults (Urox, Uralda, Barntar).
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
As far as integrating with the PCs, perhaps there could be a cousin relationship, or one of the PCs could be a son of his dead wife through a year marraige or some kind of other arrangement. Another alternative is for Helvam to be the spiritual advisor of the band of PCs, lending wise counsel and good breath to hot blooded young warriors. I'll make more specific comments as I review the other PCs and their backstories.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
I think Sorrowful should be the highest drawback - it's not so much his Lunar enemies or his strained relations with kin that are his problem, but his own sorrow and rage at losing his family, from a foe who won't even acknowledge a proper weregild. Expect much drunkenness and poetry. Also, the Distinguishing Feature should be Sad Mystic.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Your wergild is that of a noble, and your living standard is prosperous. You have a stead near the shrine, with a carl and cottars who provide for you and Black Hoof.
</blockquote>

Helvam disdains politics, Kings should rule, not Priests, and he's seen as somewhat in touch too much with the world of the gods. Helvam is preparing for his Devotee heroquest, and hopes to gain Clan support for that. He also wants to explore the Godworld for any stories of Orlanth encountering moon deities. Certainly, there must be a mythic reason why Orlanth has had so much trouble with the Shepelkirt, and a godtime solution.

Sargandi the Reckless is a Spearthane of the Narri clan and budding initiate of Helamakt. Like many Thanes, Sargandi has an affinity with the air, movement, and mastery runes.

<blockquote>
And that's as far as I could get without hand-holding. I think I'll just go with a list until I understand all this. Not sure if spearthane is a thing in Glorantha, but I'm using it here to denote more of a focus on fighting with a spear instead of a sword, or whatever. I'm kind of at a loss where to go next, as each piece of character creation seems bound up in impenetrable Gloranthan lore. The Sartar book says to pick a few charms, spells, or talents... not sure about those. But I want to include something like playing the pipes or flute, or the equivalent.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
I think Sargandi might be roughly the same age as Jargaran, maybe 5 years older than Kaveh and Roan, and he's one of the chieftain's elite bodyguards. What do you think of that idea?
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Tusk Riders are hateful, murdering bandits. They fight for plunder and human sacrifice. They should be entreated with only as a last resort and it is usually best to ambush and kill them. They always kill their hostages, sacrificing them to their evil demons.

== Roan Garansson the Adventurous Mercenary ==

Since birth Roan was at one with the horses of the clan, a natural rider, raised on mare milk. His initiation led him to Orlanth adventurous though, not Elmal as might be expected, for he lacked the dedication, fire and truthful nature of those men. Instead he rode out and headed East, in the train of his father, an important Thane of the clan. Off to find new bloodlines for their Clan's herd and possible allies with the Tribes of the Eastern edge of Sartar.

Unlike his father, Roan didn't come back. He stayed........ First traveling with the Pol Joni, and then a member of a fierce warband of the Verge, made up of Men of The Dundealos Tribe and their Pol Joni allies. He fought his way up and down the edge of Prax, fighting Uz and Torkani to the North, Dedra to the East , and finally the Lunars to the West.

Then, one day a rider returned to the wetlands of the Narri, A follower of Ulanin, astride a Sered stallion, a foreign Horse, larger than the Galana ponies of the clan. The swirls of Orlanth upon it's dusty flanks , it spoke as if a man.

Stories followed, some heroic, some unkind, of a warband destroyed and a lone survivor....

Roan found himself under his Uncle's protection... His father dead, from an ill fated excursion to the Upland Marsh. So now, a housecarl to a near stranger and in a land barely remembered....

Highly competitive, the once mercenary, has stirred up his clan, especially amongst those Elmali which follow Beren.

He's rangy like his horse; fast, competitive and not worried where his armbands come from. He's trouble and needs ruling with an Iron grip.

The whispered stories of his past, his reputation as a mercenary for other clans, haunt him, but the truth more so: for he is a wanted rebel......

You must have Fire 1W to be an Elmal initiate. Elmal is approached through the Fire rune, not the Truth rune.

The Narri are not an Elmali clan, they are an Orlanthi clan (i.e., 85% of the men are Orlanth initiates) descended from Elmal.
They herd sheep (most herders) and breed horses (the Elmali minority including Redaldan women).

I don't understand why you want to drop to Herder 13 when that's Kaveh's occupation.
He spends most of his time as a sheep herder and horseman.

Replacing Tracking with something that's more interesting is fine.
Tol is a herding alynx breed, but he's still a much better tracker and hunter than Kaveh.
May I suggest a golden shield presented by the chieftain, taken as booty from the Sun Domers by the Greydogs, gifted to the Narri as dowry?

== Backstory ==

Helvam Stormsorrow is a Priest of Orlanth Thunderous, a sad mystic who is wise in the Godworld.
A Cottar who became great, the old man earned cows during campaigns against Tarsh.
When his 3 sons were crucified by the Lunars, he went to the mountains to question Orlanth.
The storm answered.
Now the old farmer commands Ohorlanth's storms and Lightbringer secrets.
He has iron fists, can Walk Anywhere, and can see Lunar magic.

His closest kin are his daughter, Karyne Greenweaver, and Black Hoof, a bull who deigns to carry the priest on his back, in exchange for beer.

<blockquote>
I'd like to see Helvam as a full time priest who used to be a farmer and had some success back in the old days (perhaps one of his sons was a Carl, and he was left with a bit of land and a few cows. He's certainly a Carl socially now, and the keyword is from what he knows how to do.) As a community priest, he's busy full time casting rune stones, leading worship, advising the Dar and keeping bachelor warriors out of trouble - and blasting Lunars with wind and lightning when it's time for battle. He probably lives either at the clan shrine (tending it) with occasional visits to his daughter's family (one of the times he smiles is when playing with her kids.) Black Hoof is a huge black bull who you know is intelligent just from his eyes and gets a vote in the clan moot - when he came down from Kero Fin, he was riding the ancient Bull, who's virility has given the clan wealth. He eats, sleeps and worships with Black Hoof, who is as close as any family. Black Hoof can talk, but only to the old Priest and to Initiates of Bull cults (Urox, Uralda, Barntar).
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
As far as integrating with the PCs, perhaps there could be a cousin relationship, or one of the PCs could be a son of his dead wife through a year marraige or some kind of other arrangement. Another alternative is for Helvam to be the spiritual advisor of the band of PCs, lending wise counsel and good breath to hot blooded young warriors. I'll make more specific comments as I review the other PCs and their backstories.

I think Sorrowful should be the highest drawback - it's not so much his Lunar enemies or his strained relations with kin that are his problem, but his own sorrow and rage at losing his family, from a foe who won't even acknowledge a proper weregild. Expect much drunkenness and poetry. Also, the Distinguishing Feature should be Sad Mystic.

Helvam disdains politics, Kings should rule, not Priests, and he's seen as somewhat in touch too much with the world of the gods. Helvam is preparing for his Devotee heroquest, and hopes to gain Clan support for that. He also wants to explore the Godworld for any stories of Orlanth encountering moon deities. Certainly, there must be a mythic reason why Orlanth has had so much trouble with the Shepelkirt, and a godtime solution.

== Roan Garansson the Adventurous Mercenary ==

Since birth Roan was at one with the horses of the clan, a natural rider, raised on mare milk. His initiation led him to Orlanth adventurous though, not Elmal as might be expected, for he lacked the dedication, fire and truthful nature of those men. Instead he rode out and headed East, in the train of his father, an important Thane of the clan. Off to find new bloodlines for their Clan's herd and possible allies with the Tribes of the Eastern edge of Sartar.

Unlike his father, Roan didn't come back. He stayed........ First traveling with the Pol Joni, and then a member of a fierce warband of the Verge, made up of Men of The Dundealos Tribe and their Pol Joni allies. He fought his way up and down the edge of Prax, fighting Uz and Torkani to the North, Dedra to the East , and finally the Lunars to the West.

Then, one day a rider returned to the wetlands of the Narri, A follower of Ulanin, astride a Sered stallion, a foreign Horse, larger than the Galana ponies of the clan. The swirls of Orlanth upon it's dusty flanks , it spoke as if a man.

Stories followed, some heroic, some unkind, of a warband destroyed and a lone survivor....

Roan found himself under his Uncle's protection... His father dead, from an ill fated excursion to the Upland Marsh. So now, a housecarl to a near stranger and in a land barely remembered....

Highly competitive, the once mercenary, has stirred up his clan, especially amongst those Elmali which follow Beren.

He's rangy like his horse; fast, competitive and not worried where his armbands come from. He's trouble and needs ruling with an Iron grip.

The whispered stories of his past, his reputation as a mercenary for other clans, haunt him, but the truth more so: for he is a wanted rebel......

'''Secret'''

The Devil tempted us with, ''We are all of us, Chaos is everything.''

To which I replied, ''In such a world, we do not exist. In a world with no I, there is no We. The individual has rights just as important as the group!''

Thus, we expressed true Unity, as pronounced by Umath, Orlanth, and Heort, and all the good gods and goddesses, which is Freedom. Only by mutual respect can people truly be free and know peace. With false unity, when people are not allowed to say, "I will," then tyranny reigns. As Yelm, as the Dragons, and now Shepelkirt. True unity has difference but harmony. False unity is stagnant and prey to the Devil.

We will resist, and save the world again! I fought, We won!

Gods War Heroquest secret TBD. Suggestions are:
*We know the secret of Unity in Temptation.
*We know the secret of Harmonious Unity.

== Backstory ==

Helvam Stormsorrow is a Priest of Orlanth Thunderous, a sad mystic who is wise in the Godworld.
A Cottar who became great, the old man earned cows during campaigns against Tarsh.
When his 3 sons were crucified by the Lunars, he went to the mountains to question Orlanth.
The storm answered.
Now the old farmer commands Ohorlanth's storms and Lightbringer secrets.
He has iron fists, can Walk Anywhere, and can see Lunar magic.

His closest kin are his daughter, Karyne Greenweaver, and Black Hoof, a bull who deigns to carry the priest on his back, in exchange for beer.

<blockquote>
I'd like to see Helvam as a full time priest who used to be a farmer and had some success back in the old days (perhaps one of his sons was a Carl, and he was left with a bit of land and a few cows. He's certainly a Carl socially now, and the keyword is from what he knows how to do.) As a community priest, he's busy full time casting rune stones, leading worship, advising the Dar and keeping bachelor warriors out of trouble - and blasting Lunars with wind and lightning when it's time for battle. He probably lives either at the clan shrine (tending it) with occasional visits to his daughter's family (one of the times he smiles is when playing with her kids.) Black Hoof is a huge black bull who you know is intelligent just from his eyes and gets a vote in the clan moot - when he came down from Kero Fin, he was riding the ancient Bull, who's virility has given the clan wealth. He eats, sleeps and worships with Black Hoof, who is as close as any family. Black Hoof can talk, but only to the old Priest and to Initiates of Bull cults (Urox, Uralda, Barntar).
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
As far as integrating with the PCs, perhaps there could be a cousin relationship, or one of the PCs could be a son of his dead wife through a year marraige or some kind of other arrangement. Another alternative is for Helvam to be the spiritual advisor of the band of PCs, lending wise counsel and good breath to hot blooded young warriors. I'll make more specific comments as I review the other PCs and their backstories.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
I think Sorrowful should be the highest drawback - it's not so much his Lunar enemies or his strained relations with kin that are his problem, but his own sorrow and rage at losing his family, from a foe who won't even acknowledge a proper weregild. Expect much drunkenness and poetry. Also, the Distinguishing Feature should be Sad Mystic.
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
Your wergild is that of a noble, and your living standard is prosperous. You have a stead near the shrine, with a carl and cottars who provide for you and Black Hoof.

'''Secret'''

The Devil tempted us with, ''We are all of us, Chaos is everything.''

To which I replied, ''In such a world, we do not exist. In a world with no I, there is no We. The individual has rights just as important as the group!''

Thus, we expressed true Unity, as pronounced by Umath, Orlanth, and Heort, and all the good gods and goddesses, which is Freedom. Only by mutual respect can people truly be free and know peace. With false unity, when people are not allowed to say, "I will," then tyranny reigns. As Yelm, as the Dragons, and now Shepelkirt. True unity has difference but harmony. False unity is stagnant and prey to the Devil.

We will resist, and save the world again! I fought, We won!

*We know the secret of Unity in Temptation.
*We know the secret of Harmonious Unity.

*We hold Arkat as a great but flawed hero

'''Clan Myths'''

Our ragged Clan marched with the Storm Bull at the last battle against Wakboth.

'''Attitudes to Lunars'''

*Lunar Friendly 0%
*Lunar Hostile 100%

<blockquote>
And that's as far as I could get without hand-holding. I think I'll just go with a list until I understand all this. Not sure if spearthane is a thing in Glorantha, but I'm using it here to denote more of a focus on fighting with a spear instead of a sword, or whatever. I'm kind of at a loss where to go next, as each piece of character creation seems bound up in impenetrable Gloranthan lore. The Sartar book says to pick a few charms, spells, or talents... not sure about those. But I want to include something like playing the pipes or flute, or the equivalent.

<blockquote>
I think Sargandi might be roughly the same age as Jargaran, maybe 5 years older than Kaveh and Roan, and he's one of the chieftain's elite bodyguards. What do you think of that idea?

<blockquote>
Tusk Riders are hateful, murdering bandits. They fight for plunder and human sacrifice. They should be entreated with only as a last resort and it is usually best to ambush and kill them. They always kill their hostages, sacrificing them to their evil demons.
