Dwarfs: Guide to the Mostali
We are the Mostali. We tend the World Machine. Do not pretend that the world is not broken for we see its mechanism and tell you that its gears are seizing and its connections freezing. Do not dismiss us as greedy capricious fools; we are Mostal's servants and he is The Mover and Maker. We enact his will and make sure the Machine works as it should and flows along the Great River of Time uninterrupted. Without us, all will halt and the Great Darkness shall return. Do not dismiss us as miners and masons: we are the cogs of the world and our secrets and magic as powerful as those of any empire. God Learners - do not seek to steal our secrets and turn them against us. Mostal's tools are made by Mostali and only we know how to wield them properly. Dragon-Men do not take us for ignorant fools: we stare into the heart of the World Machine daily and understand better than you what dragons perceive. Servants of the Thunder God, do not think you own this land; you bear responsibility for what has been broken and must make amends so that it might be repaired. People of Glorantha: know us and hear us. We are the Mostali. We are the World Machine. We are the ground beneath your feet. And it is broken.

Fronela
In the outlying western lands of Genertela, the Middle Sea Empire and the Empire of Wyrms' Friends vie for control of an area that has already been subjugated by its own dreamy idealism of an egalitarian utopia. As the rulers of Loskalm and the Janube Valley seek to make all men equal, the God Learners and Dragon Mystics intend to prove that they are not. Neither empire seeks a new front in their war for supremacy over Glorantha, but conflict is inevitable as the Malkioni deepen their influence through the righteous doctrines of the saints, and the Eternal Dragon Ring, under the command of Lord Great Burin, flexes the enormous wings of the Great Dragon to Be. Against this backdrop of competing empires, the people of Loskalm are torn: between their misguided idealism, the competing philosophies of the Abiding Book and the imperative of the Great Dragon Project. As the waves crash in on the western shore, a wind blows hard from the east - and soon Fronela will become a crucible for the clash of empires. Fronela is a sourcebook and campaign setting for Glorantha: the Second Age. Alongside details of the nations of Fronela, a series of interlinked adventures, forming a greater campaign arc, takes the characters into the heart of the struggle for the west. The righteous waves crash and the dragon wind howls: how will your characters meet these dual threats?

Cultures
Races in Dungeons & Dragons 4E are good for laying down the broad strokes of a character, but they often don’t feel as “lived in” as the ethnicities we encounter in everyday life. One potent reason for this is a general lack of cultural complexity and diversity. D&D races tend to be presented as monocultural societies—all elves are the same the world over, and so on. Hard Boiled™ Cultures aims to make it easy to change that, outlining versatile, easy methods for diversifying the ideas of culture and race in your D&D 4E game. Better yet, the methods break down how to give this diversity real weight in the system, rather than simply relying on “color” text to do the job. Fred Hicks and Jonathan Walton show you how to reverse-engineer cultural cues out of an existing race writeup, and then create nigh-limitless possibilities for other cultures within that race once the building blocks are made plain. Inside this 17-page PDF you’ll find a clear, well-documented methods for culture building, a culture building worksheet, tribes of elves, apelord intellectuals, and a dark faerie spin on dwarves. Your campaign worlds will never be the same again!
