In first and second editions of RuneQuest, when the game was tied to Glorantha, giants were described as a surly and untrustworthy Chaostic race. However in...

IIRC, the reference to a Chaotic taint was in error (though it might have been an early Gregging, of course). I recall an errata somewhere that corrected that....
In addition to what's already been said; the cradle baby is a true giant, not one of the common modern giants. According to Anaxial's Roster they are "more...

Hello all, I'm mulling over Fronela, as one of those places that seems not to be already hammered in stone that might be fun to build up some. (I'm terribly...

... The White Bear Empire is really a lot of Rathori fighting rather than an actual empire. Normally Rathori sleep all winter but a few may worship the White...
