Press Release
ANAXIAL'S ROSTER IS CALLED!
Issaries, Inc. is very pleased to announce its latest release in the Hero Wars line,
Anaxial's Roster: Creatures of the Hero Wars.
Anaxial's Roster is an bestiary for the mythic fantasy world of Glorantha. It
includes not only Hero Wars game statistics, but also colorful myths about a wide
assortment of natural and supernatural creatures.
"A million kinds of beasts live in Glorantha, and this book helps you portray the
most important of them in your own stories," says Greg Stafford, President of
Issaries, Inc. "It even lets players run non-humans like elves, ducks, or morokanths."
Anaxial's Roster contains over 150 entries describing more than 300 animals,
monsters, and other creatures. They range from the fierce bird steeds of the
dragonewts to domestic animals, from wild beasts to the magical creatures that
hunt them, from terrible monsters to the disembodied denizens of the Otherworlds.
Eleven longer myths show how they fit into Glorantha's magic ecology.
"Anaxial is the Gloranthan hero who saved all the animals from a catastrophic flood,"
says Stafford. "His myth helps structure the book and make it accessible."
"Anaxial's Roster is going out the door. Glorantha Trading Association copies have
been mailed, and wholesale orders are being shipped this week. It'll be in Europe
in a week."
As part of the Hero Wars line of books, Anaxial's Roster is in a trade paperback
format (8.25" x 5.25"), with 60 illustrations and a cover by Heather Bruton. It was
written by Greg Stafford and Jamie Revell, and includes an extensive index.
Anaxial's Roster is 256 pages and retails for $19.95.
