"Gather 'round lads and lasses. Old Mard is gunna share a tale with you. This is a tale of Heroes and Gods; Men and Trolls; Spirits and Demons. I'm speaking of the Hero Wars. I'll tell you about The Argrath.

Uz-friend, Warlord, Wise, and Wealthy
Wolf-Brother, Dragon-Friend, Destroyer of Foes
Empire's Bane, Voydag's man

Bold wielder of blood-snake and burster of helms
Chosen of Crag-spider, he crushed the Count
Sartar's Flame flared at his touch

Kodigvari is his clan and close is his ring
Fell is his band and ferocious his rage
Lo he's come to liberate the land.

Welcome to Glorantha
Glorantha is a world of Myth and Magic where Man lives side-by-side with Uz, Mostali, Aldyra, Drulz and other stranger races. This is a world where the storm-worshipping hill men war incessantly with the sun-worshipping lowlanders; where Gods, Demons and creatures from the Void stalk the lands; where Heroes battle to save their people and for the glory of their gods.

What role will your Hero play in the wars to come?
