Tradetalk # 14 – Outside Genertela: The Southern Continent

This is the fourteenth issue of Tradetalk, a fanzine dedicated to Glorantha, HeroQuest and RuneQuest. The dead-tree version was published in May 2004 by The Chaos Society.

This issue presents four coastal regions of the continent of Pamaltela (short descriptions of Umathela and Laskal, and long and detailed backgrounds for Kumanku and Golden Kareeshtu), and the elven jungle of Errinoru. If you like an setting with arabic flair, with a harem,  and lots of slaves, then this issue is for you.
