Upon meeting a priestess of any Earth Goddess, his Wind Lords must, by the rules of their religion ask her if there's any force of Darkness nearby that he can fight for her in exchange for sex.

She has no obligation to give him such a task. But he *has* to ask her.

Specifically, the ritual greeting is:

"Sweet Green Woman, look at me!

I am come, the Conquerer!

None can stand before me.

I am yours. What Dark shall I fight?"

He is so fucking horny. It's great. Peak cringe.

Hiya there, I moved to aspiring-awesomeness (https://aspiring-awesomeness.tumblr.com/) :D

Sun County is a supplement for Avalon Hill’s third edition RuneQuest from 1992.

There is a lot to dislike about the Avalon Hill version of the game – their overriding desire for RuneQuest to be campaign setting agnostic and an obsession with over-complicating everything – but I still have a fondness for it. The layout is crisp and clean, with art that is, if not fantastic, perhaps more consistent than that in the Chaosium books. I love Dave Dobyski’s maps. Perhaps most importantly, their sourcebooks like Dorastor and Sun County explored regions of Glorantha previously mentioned but mostly left undeveloped.

Sun County lies along the Zola Fel river, directly south of Pavis. A theocratic domain, it is ruled by worshippers of Yelmalio, the god of the Sun Dome, and maintains a rigorous and xenophobic character. Outsiders are not welcome in Sun County, but the region’s love of gold attracts adventurers nonetheless. The Yelmalions are a contrast to the morally permissive Lunar Empire officials that administrate Prax and the continued presence of the sun worshippers is tolerated because of prowess of the Sun Dome Templars, whose mercenary services are valued throughout the region.
