Tradetalk # 10 - Wenelia & Ramalia Special

Tradetalk # 10 – Wenelia & Ramalia Special

This is the tenth issue of Tradetalk, a fanzine dedicated to Glorantha, Hero Wars and RuneQuest. The dead-tree version was published in March 2002 by The Chaos Society.

Wenelia and Ramalia are two areas in the region of Maniria, the south coast of the continent of Genertela. This issue describes these areas, the barbarian boar people of Wenelia, and the westerized pig folk of Ramalia.
These areas are the border countries of the HeroQuest setting of Issaries Inc./Moon Designs "Blood over Gold", and will greatly enhance any game in that setting.

Please have a look at two other issues of Tradetalk, which focus on the same region:
Tradetalk # 11 "Handra & The New Fens" describes a city in between these two areas. Tradetalk # 15 "The Savage West" gives detailed insight (and an adventure) into Caratan, an area north of the city of Handra.
