The Voralans (RuneQuest)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

This book is for anyone who would like to feature the black elves of Glorantha in their RuneQuest game, and who wants more detail on this somewhat “alien” race.

The black elves, or voralans, are fungal humanoids, walking, talking, magical mushrooms. They are distantly related to the other races of Darkness (invertebrates, and trolls). Their relationship to the plant elves, the Aldryami, is explored in this book. Unlike almost any other Gloranthan race, they have a lifelong telepathic link with one another, a mental communion that makes them see and deal with the world very differently.

The contents include an introduction and overview (6 pages); the culture, biology, society, psychology, technology and occupations of black elves, including character generation (16 pages); mythology (8 pages); the cult of Mee Vorala (13 pages); what the shaman says (4 pages); a voralan bestiary (10 pages); fungal diseases (3 pages); fungi and fungal products (5 pages); and appendices (12 pages).

The book is illustrated throughout in full color with specially commissioned art and some public domain imagery.

To celebrate Silver medal status, a bonus PDF file has been included: "The Voralans - The Sketchbooks", containing 27 pages of art sketches, specifications and discussions.

"Another ethnographic tour de force ... merges science with Runic essentials to bring us the mycelial master-race" - Nick Brooke, Jonstown Compendium Index.

"Absolutely phenomenal. A wonderful blend of researched detail and Glorantha crazy, supported by good art and polished production quality" - Austin Conrad, Akhelas.

NOTE: Material in this book deals with mature themes. GMs are advised to adjust their presentation of this subject matter in accordance with their own and their group’s comfort levels.

Hi there. For some reason, this (awesome) work doesn’t appear when I search Jonstown compendium/ print format so I missed out on the fact that it was available in print ! I’m buying it as a matter of course, but what’s the glitch and are other works affected ? Thank you for any light on the matter

Hi Thomas. It was only launched in print yesterday, and changes to formats sometimes take a while to work through DTRPG's systems. If you check back in a day or two, I'd expect it to show up in the search.

I've checked, and it should now be visible when searching for JC / print format.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
