Setting Storm Yak aside for now because it's barely half a writeup...what should my next thing be? Damali (deer/antelope folk), Hsa (tiger folk), Chen Ga (snow leopard folk), one of the troll groups?

www.tumblr.com/morsrattus/7... Yi Da, the spirit cult of the Lo Fak, for my Glorantha ttrpg project, Secret History of the Horse Sun! Yi Da is both cow and bull, a link to the spirit world and my first full on Hsunchen shaman group.

I really enjoy writing spirit societies.

Bone Keeper (BEAST): The spirit Bone Keeper is a cow of the Spirit Herd, a wise and careful guide of the aged and the dead. She watches over dead souls and preserves their memory, teaching how to carve bone and honor the dead. She grants the power of Shape Bones. Her taboo is Honor the Dead Daily at Sunrise and Sunset.

Freedom Seeker (BEAST): Freedom Seeker is one of the great bulls of the Spirit Herd, a warrior who endlessly fights against the evil forces of the False King. He cannot stand captivity and has a particular hatred for ranchers and humans who keep yaks, especially in fences. He grants the power of Shatter Walls And Fances. His taboo is Never Let a Human's Herds Go Undiminished.

Possibly relevant to some people stuck using Word because the alternatives aren't good enough for their purposes: not only is it a one-time license, the standalone version does NOT have Copilot integration, which is honestly a selling point

www.tumblr.com/morsrattus/7... Undrung, a Lo Fak god of mysticism and questioning, for my Glorantha ttrpg project, Secret History of the Horse Sun! With bonus content: rules for draconic enlightenment, which differs from illumination in several ways mechanically.

I love writing QuestWorlds power descriptions.

Undrung is a yak. This is one of the few definite things about them. Their power over the Beast Rune is expressed by the removal of yak-like traits from non-yaks and the removal of non-yak traits from yaks. Initiaties have been known to use the Beast Rune to transform partially or completely into a yak, to remove yak traits (such as thick hair, endurance, horns, strong legs, physical bulk, or hooves) from non-yaks, or to remove human traits (such as baldness, weak legs, or thinness) from yaks. Those strong in the Beast Rune tend to be careful, patient, and quiet.

Undrung is the doubter and the seeker, who knows that the things people call truths are anything but. They are not eternal and unchanging, but simply temporary truths in a world that is itself only sometimes real. Undrung is not Trickster, and their use of the Illusion rune reflects this, being an act of precise understanding and philosophical questioning, by which the apparently permanent traits of the things around them are

People love to cosplay w/others' ritual stuff b/c it's easier than the hard, humbling work of actual solidarity, which involves learning how to shut up & stop imposing your worldview all over everything & putting yourself on the line once in a while to make things better for others. Way less fun.
