Tradetalk # 15 – The Savage West

This is the fifteenth issue of Tradetalk, a fanzine dedicated to Glorantha, HeroQuest and RuneQuest. The dead-tree version was published in May 2007 by The Chaos Society.

The area known as Caratan, and the culture of the Auloring make up almost half of this issue. Caratan is an area north of the city of Handra, in between Maniria and Ralios.
This area in on the border 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 # 10 "Wenelia & Ramalia" presents the boar people of Wenelia, and the more westerized pig folk of Ramalia.
Tradetalk # 11 "Handra & The New Fens" describes a city and its environs in between these two areas.
