About the adventure

Glorantha is a rich and deep setting, full of complexity and a wide range of cultures and myths, but it is also a lot to take in when one is just getting started. RuneQuest: The Pegasus Plateau & Other Stories is a collection of new, ready-to-use adventures or locations written with the specific purpose of introducing Glorantha and RuneQuest to new players by providing short and easy-to-run gameplay experiences. Glorantha is firmly set in the ancient world, or even prehistory. It is for the most part a Bronze Age setting, characterized by: the ubiquity of bronze, instead of iron, as the primary metal; by writing as the preserve of a narrow professional elite (such as the Lhankor Mhy cult); and by the flourishing of urban civilizations (such as Nochet, Boldhome, and Furthest). Kinship groups or city-states are the usual form of social organization; a chieftain, king, queen, or other supreme authority holds power. A common form of leadership is the ring, whether tribal, clan, or city, usually made up of elders or powerful individuals within the community.
