In this new RuneQuest setting your character can learn many new skills unique to the world of Slaine (such as the Salmon Leap and Shield Biting), have immense warp spasms that can lay waste to his foes and use the power of the earth to cast magical spells to defeat your enemies. Inside you will find: Character Creation Not only can your character come from Tir Nan Og, where each of the four tribes all have their own unique abilities, but he can also hail from Midgard or the Tribes of the Drune Lords, be a dwarf or even be descended from the inhabitants of drowned Atlantis.
