Stand-alone game set in Prax, the campaign region of Runequest. Written by Greg Stafford and Tadashi Ehara, with evocative art by Gene Day, this publication dates to Chaosium's early days. Indeed, it was clearly written on a typewriter. A full set includes Rulebook; fold-out map; player charts; sheet of counters.
From the introduction:
"The earliest recorded stories about the Plaines of Prax are tales of war and destruction. During the Gods' Age, before Time began, War and Death first stepped into our world at Prax. Ever since those legendary times the place has remained constantly embroiled in selfish wars based on feuds whose origins are long forgotten.
Ancient civilisations once thrived here, but were buried forever under divine barbarism which destroyed it with a hearty gusto. The Gods' War left much of the world a ruin, but the Plaines of Prax were the worst struck and the slowest to recover. There the dirt you walk upon is hostile to men who once plundered it. Needless to say, existance is tenuous and life is precious. More precious than life, though, are those immortal gifts which are capable of supporting life in the harsh chaparral. Thus the people of the region are well known for their greed and desire for great magical properties..."
