Deep Sources
These documents come from the depths of Greg Stafford's filing cabinet. Many are more than twenty
years old, and they provide a unique insight into the development of Glorantha. They represent
some of the oldest source material about Glorantha, and are, for the most part, previously
unpublished.
You should be aware that these files are not considered current, complete, or even necessarily
accurate. They have not been reviewed before being posted, and many details have evolved
and changed since they were written. Although some of the information may still be relevant to
modern writings, you take a risk if you rely upon the information in any of these files when
developing material for Glorantha or Hero Wars. Issaries, Inc., and Greg Stafford
reserve the right to add to, change, or completely ignore any of these files.
Issaries, Inc., would like to thank the volunteers who typed or scanned in these files from
photocopies: Mark Beardsley, Adam DiGleria, Jeff Kyer, Derek Stoelting, and Andrew Kelly. Thanks
also to Stephen Martin and Graham Robinson, who helped to coordinate the project. We aplogize
if someone who contributed is left out. Please let us know if this is the case and we will
hasten to add the missing names.
Data entry of the Deep Source Files is an on-going project. New files will be posted as they
become available. If you want to help get more material on-line, use the
Volunteer Signup Form to volunteer!

claims. These are incorrect, and show the depths of ignorance and decline
into which the Kralori Empire fell during the reign of
Shang-hsa-may-his-name-be-cursed. |
