This is our fake "saga" about our RuneQuest in Glorantha campaign.  The characters are mainly from the Taraling clan of the Colymar Tribe, and so far we are following "canned" adventures.

 

The actual saga is a not very serious mashup, including parts of Beowulf (Seamus Heaney translation), The Odyssey (Emily Miller), and other fun stuff, including Jane Austen.  So far written by me, Morgan Conrad.  I'm running the Lagertha character, who is loosely based on the historical and TV character.

 

Spoiler Alert: Much content comes from various Chaosium or various Jonstown Compendium publications.
