Spoiler: Version 0.3.1 (click to show/hide) Added the Darkness rune as a secret. Version 0.3.1 - It's a secret from everybody.

Spoiler: Version 0.3 (click to show/hide) Enchanted lead which can be made at the Temple of Darkness. It is very strong for blunt weapons. Currently costs nothing except lead itself.

Miscellaneous item updates. Version 0.3 - Death is light as a feather, lead heavier than a mountain.

Spoiler: Version 0.2 (click to show/hide) Updated some entity related stuff

Updated the troll creature file

Added troll Temple of Darkness (takes four lead bars and one lead statue)

Added reactions allowing enlo (or any sentient, in fact) to transform into uzko permanently with gender choices (costs one lead bar) - These will probably get a lot harsher in the future Version 0.2 - ALL HAIL KYGER LITOR

Spoiler: Version 0.1.1 (click to show/hide) Added profession names including changing peasant names so races more distinct.

Additional nobles.

Cleaned up and changed weapons slightly.

Enlo now divided by their class into Enlo, Enloruk and Enlorez. Enloruk can't learn anything except mining, woodcutting, herbalism and planting and Enlorez can't learn anything at all but can be easily butchered. Version 0.1.1 - They're Technically Nobles, I Guess?

Spoiler: Version 0.1 (click to show/hide) Race functionality - uzuz clever and powerful, most trollkin weedy and dumb, uzdo strong and dumb and romal can be thrown against an army and kill it all but expect them to go bloodthirsty and try to kill your uz too.

Civilisation functionality - uz form their own civilisation with the female uzuz on top and female uzko in charge of everything else. Male uzuz and uzko in charge of military matters.

Cannibalism! - some useless enlo can be butchered for their meat and considering the amount you'll get this is probably for the best.

Insectoid Farming - Giant beetles are both mounts and cattle for the uz and you can have ham beetles grazing away in your pastures underground. Version 0.1 - Still More Gameplay Than Early Access Games Edition!

Uz, known as trolls to the myriad peoples of mankind, are a type of (mostly) humanoid creature from the setting of Glorantha. They are creatures born from a fusion of the Darkness and Man runes. They were one of the first races to be born within the world and are therefore capable of eating anything as a form of sustenance (including air, although they prefer not to). They are cannibals, willing to eat both their own people and enjoying to eat other sentients. They keep their deformed relatives in slavery and sometimes just eat them for no reason other than hunger. They are harsh and cruel and completely inhuman in their habits.But they are not evil. Uz are the fools of fate. They have had every single thing stolen from them in their fight against the evil that is Chaos itself. They stood up to true evil and found themselves broken by it.Once, the Uz dwelt within Wonderhome. Wonderhome had no light at all. Every uz was a mistress race troll, an uzuz, gifted and magically powerful and the world was perfect.Then the Sun God Yelm was killed and, in his descent to hell, he passed through Wonderhome. One of the children of the uz's main god (Kyger Litor) was burned to death by the Sun's passing through Wonderhome. In her grief, Kyger Litor cursed her children with her sorrow, leading to them never being able to birth an uzuz again. The dark trolls, the uzko, were the only ones able to be born from uz wombs.The uz found themselves unable to dwell within Wonderhome and instead travelled to live in caves upon the surface. There, they ruled the world in the time known as the Great Darkness.The sun eventually found it's way back into the sky and the uz went back into their caves. Eventually a council of all the races was formed. In it's hubris, it sook to summon / create a god. The uz refused to participate as they could tell it was wrong.They were right. Gbaji the Liar was born. The trolls fought against him and Chaos and, as they did so, they found themselves doubly cursed. Now their wombs often gave birth to twisted sickly creatures known as trollkin who to the uz are called enlo ("little twisted ones").In the end, Gbaji was defeated through the combined forces of all the races. The trolls found themselves without a true place in the world and members of a fading race. In an era where empires of men rule the surface, trolls dwell within caves, feeding on their undersized kin and insects.Glorantha is one of the oldest roleplaying systems ever made. It was very unique and alien, but years of other settings (Warhammer Fantasy being a big one) taking concepts off of it have lead to some parts of it seeming derivative. The best description would be that if you imagine that Middle Earth was made by a study of language the Glorantha was made by a study of mythology. All myths are true and all myths are false, including the contradictory ones.Glorantha is one of the best settings out there and I highly suggest you guys pick up King of Dragon Pass and give it a try. It's exceptional and exceptionally hard. The ruleset used for Glorantha (RuneQuest) has been used for everything and was probably the principle inspiration for most of the Elder Scrolls games (one of the designers for an edition of RuneQuest worked on both Morrowind and Oblivion).If you want more information, have a look at the Lore of Glorantha on Tumblr , the Prince of Sartar comic or go to Glorantha.com Uzuz PowersThe uzuz are the matriarch race of trolls. They are ancient, immortal and all powerful. Their magical abilities are so great they rival gods. They will have a variety of powers that allow them to blind enemies and use the powers of darkness.Scarification for PowerTrolls often scar the runes of their gods into their flesh. They will be capable of performing rites of passage that permanently grant them greater magical power in exchange for this. This is a small chance that those that enter will die in the process, however.More Pet InsectsThe uz have a variety of insects that they have as pets, including giant rideable wasps. More of them will be added, including possibly spirits of darkness such as dehori.
