Just went to a Battlefield Band concert; "Bad Moon Rising" played on the bagpipes certainly seemed like a Sartarite song...

Actually, it reminds me a lot of how the Greeks and Romans wrote about people like the Scythians and Celts... If they worshipped a god of war, it was called Ares/Mars.

I've been using small parts, like the idea that place matters. In PenDragon Pass, you can cast larger variable spells when you're at your home hearth. I think the "power level" of Pendragon magic is far lower than Glorantha (not just RQ the game, but Glorantha, since it seems like everyone in Theyalan areas has some magic, and in Pendragon you have to be a specialist).
