King of Dragon Pass is a strategy game developed by A Sharp (A#). Set in the past of Glorantha, the setting for RuneQuest, the player leads a clan of bloodthirsty Orlanthi to dominance over the freshly colonised land of Dragon Pass by managing the clan's economy. This is done by conducting its raids against neighbours and making other wise decisions as the seven-member clan ring.The gameplay itself is a strange mix of strategy, RPG, and Interactive Fiction; the usual macromanagement of the clan is spiced by individual decisions of the nobility and story choices made in a Gamebook-like format. Should Voskandora the war-leader engage her opposite directly using her axe and battle magic, or try to keep herself safe behind her thanes? Should the clan pay the extra five cows worth of goods to try to find a wife for one of the ugly carls? These are all in the player's hand and might have seemingly unrelated long-term consequences.The game was originally released in 1999, but received an iOS port in 2011, featuring new scenes and tweaked gameplay. In 2012, GOG.com released a patched 1999 version compatible with modern PC operating systems. In 2015, Steam released a remastered PC version that includes the iOS changes and additional bonus content. GOG.com finally caught up in 2017 and updated their release to the remastered version as well, though the 1999 version is still available as an extra download.The spiritual successor, Six Ages: Ride Like The Wind, was released in June 2018. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Stabilizing your clan in the first few years can be tough, especially on Hard mode. No one wants to trade with you, the gods don't want to share their secrets with you, the Horse Spawn like to come steal your horses and if your crops fail, you don't have any reserves to fall back on. | |

Boisterous Bruiser: Largely expected of Orlanthi men, to the point where the stereotype is that women have to do the thinking because men are simple-minded. This goes double for Storm Bulls. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Alienate any of the natives too much and they'll muster an unstoppable army and wipe you out. Depending on how events play out, you might reach a point where this is completely unavoidable. Likewise, piss off the Pharaoh too much and he'll send an army to set the whole of Dragon Pass straight. Oh, and once the Feathered Horse Queen shows up, play nice with her and the Horse-Spawn (or as nice as you can, anyways) or you can kiss your shot at kingdom (and thus victory) goodbye. At game's spawn, there is a pre-made tribe called Colymar. Depending on circumstances, a few other clans might conspire to assassinate their king. They might try to get you involved. If you agree but the attempt fails, and the Colymar find out you were involved, it will not end well for you. Just for reference, you can expect frequent raids of upwards of 40 weaponthanes and 400 footmen, when you can, realistically, manage about 15-20 and ~150, respectively, at that point in the game. And they'll be raiding you at least once a year, if not more. Recovery, much less victory, is exceedingly-unlikely at that point. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: The Orlanthi respect combat ability a great deal and determine leaders by individual merit. Orlanth and Elmal are both mighty warriors, and their followers are prime picks for Chief. The unique character Kallyr is the daughter of a penniless outlaw, but her talents (particularly Combat and Leadership) are so phenomenal that she can become your clan's Chief at the age of 14. | |

Alternative Calendar | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1d47dc06 | comment |
Alternative Calendar: Made up of five seasons lasting eight weeks, and the two week "Sacred Time". Sea season is roughly equivalent to mid-spring, Fire Season is summer, Earth season is autumn, Dark season is winter, Storm season is late winter to early spring, which then gives way to Sacred Time. There are alternative weekdays, too. | |

The Computer Is a Lying Bastard | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1da01dce | comment |
The Computer Is a Lying Bastard: In the tutorial of the iOS version, the game recommends that you never keep a trickster on your clan ring. However, there are plenty of events that you CAN'T solve reliably without a trickster on your ring. Also, having a Trickster in your ring makes heroquesting (something needed to win the game) easier. | |

I Surrender, Suckers | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1dd14f5a | comment |
I Surrender, Suckers: It's possible for a feuding clan to come up to yours and offer reconciliation, only for them to murder your emissaries (which will probably include a few members of your Ring) during the follow-up negotiations. This obviously goes against Orlanthi principles, and you can call on Orlanth or the other clans to punish them for this. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: You can sometimes choose to propitiate Chaos gods, rather than sacrificing to the Orlanthi patron deities. It's cheaper, but there's usually a long-term downside, the most obvious of which is the fact that you just pissed off your deities. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: More often than you think. During the event where the ducks ask to join your tribe, hiding the text reveals a random guy imitating a duckbill with his hands. When a thief is caught trying to take your tribal regalia, you can see an older man pointing at the thief likely yelling something like “That’s what you get you sneak!”. One event concerns a vampire that has attacked a clan member and vanished. Minimizing the event text reveals that the vampire was hiding behind it. | |

Even Orlanth and Elmal, primarily worshipped as war gods, chip in with the harvest. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Many Orlanthi live and die by this axiom. Luckily, you have often have a chance to take a reasonable and honorable third option when they bring their problems before the Ring. To the extent that it's perfectly legal to storm into someone's clan hall, brazenly say you will murder the entire clan in their sleep, and then do so. It would actually be considered worse to murder the clan without telling them first—and secret murder, committed without warning and by stealth, is among the worst crimes an Orlanthi can commit, up there with adultery, rape, Chaos worship, and kinslaying. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure: Given the narrative format of all events, any less-than-optimal conclusion for your clan is spelled out in a downright depressing level of detail. Messing up the Long Game at the last moment causes a Bittersweet Ending where your clan might pitifully try to assert that having a lot of cows or good relations with neighbors is nearly as good as becoming King of Dragon Pass. | |

| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: A few examples, from Chaos infestation, to an elven curse that causes vines to grow uncontrollably through the human body, to land-dwelling crayfish that apparently lobotomize their victims. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: A random event has your trickster putting an effigy of Eurmal in one of your temples, because Eurmal told her to. You can then send someone to put that effigy in another clan's temple to sabotage it. If you send your trickster herself, and she's caught, the other clan gets extremely offended and well... it doesn't end well for the poor trickster. Seems too harsh a punishment, but then again, we're not Orlanthi. This is also a trademark of Bad King Urgrain, who (among other things) responded to a bard writing a mocking song about him by having the bard tortured and killed, and then having everyone who attended the performance killed as well. Naturally, invoking this yourself is a bad idea. | |

Elective Monarchy | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_52388345 | comment |
Elective Monarchy: Orlanthi tribes are ruled by elected kings or queens, who don't necessarily have to be chiefs or ring members in their own clans. Once a monarch dies or steps down, it may be a while before another member of their clan can become ruler of the tribe—it's famously hard for a clan to produce two monarchs in a row. In order to win either the Short or the Long Game, you must first form a tribe and then get one of your nobles elected as the king or queen. | |

This Is Unforgivable! | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_54cbd0cb | comment |
This Is Unforgivable!: Since the game involves closely-adhering to the Orlanthi traditions and laws, there are a few things that fit. Secret murder is a grave offense, and usually can't just be bought off. (Open murder is perfectly fine, though.) Your clan is required to choose an ancestral enemy at the beginning of the game. You are required to always be hostile towards them, or at best, neutral and dismissive. If you ever try to act peaceful or cooperative with your clan's mortal enemy, this will be your ancestor's reponse. Kinslaying is one of the worst crimes an Orlanthi can commit. Nothing short of full-on disowning will do (after which the killer's life is usually forfeit by his vengeful family.) | |

Actual Pacifist: Chalana Arroy, goddess of healing, who not only does not fight herself but sometimes intercedes to prevent the other gods from killing their enemies. Due to her example, her followers are forbidden from killing—although, being Orlanthi, they may fall closer to Technical Pacifist themselves. | |

In Ernalda's honor, Orlanthi women are expected to be cool-headed and astute. It is mentioned in the game manual that men are considered feisty and passionate, while women are calm and calculating. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: No-one likes the Beastmen, at least not at first. Your avian neighbors can nevertheless prove themselves worthy allies against the undead. Some nobles will also have peculiar grudges against particular races, such as the elves, blaming them for everything bad that happens to the clan. The Ducks prove themselves time and again as noble warriors who can best your even your elite combat leaders, but even when they earnestly seek alliance, lampooning their efforts is a perfectly valid option. Your clan has to have a grudge against someone as part of the clan creation. These can be trolls, beastmen, the Praxians, elves, ice demons, or the ocean. | |

Save Scumming | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Save Scumming: Downplayed. While reloading an earlier save is perfectly doable, complete with a log of everything that happens so you know exactly when and what went wrong, the game wipes out everything that had happened after your loaded save point, which are fixed at the end of every in-game year. This makes it downplayed because instead of the freedom of jumping forward and backward at any time they choose, save scummers must weigh the benefits of righting a past wrong decision with the downside of forfeiting all the success that may have transpired since, with the added hindrance of being limited in the specific time period they go back to. Played straight however In the endgame of the long game, where you get a large amount of story events and if you fail even one you can’t get the best ending. If you built your king/queen well you don’t have much to worry about, but even then RNG is in play and can still screw you over for no real reason. The game’s manual even encourages save scumming to get this part of the game done. | |

Dump Stat | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: Clan fertility and children— while it's hypothetically helpful to have more hands on deck, it comes with quite a few downsides. Children require as much food as anyone else, don't farm, craft, hunt, tend herds, or fight (though the children of hunters and craftsmen tend to become hunters or craftsmen themselves), and they take a decade and a half to become useful. Furthermore, investing in too much human population can backfire as eventually the clan will get too crowded for your tula and a bunch of population will split off to create their own clan— taking a bunch of cows and silver with them. It's better to negotiate to gain allies and buffing artifacts than to to grow your population in an attempt to overpower your enemies, if that is even possible in the first place. | |

Off the Rails | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_60eac4ba | comment |
Off the Rails: In the Orlantha and Aroka heroquest, it's possible to simply kill Daka instead of taking the canonical route. This counts as a victory, but your clan will be seriously weirded out. Otherwise, this is strongly-discouragedL a key element of success in heroquesting is following the script as closely as possible. Deviate and at best, your champion will simply fail in their endeavor and be booted out of the realm of the Gods, with the quest being labeled a failure. At worst, your champion can wind up throwing off the narrative so much that they wind up lost and wandering in the Gods' domains, which will likely end with their death, or something much worse. Obviously, this is also considered a failure. Even in the rare cases where ditching the script manages to work out, your clan will have serious trepidation over what your effective-rewriting of the myths actually foretells. | |

Appeal to Force | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_65efc6dc | comment |
Appeal to Force: In general, this is a dumb idea, even if Orlanth's first law is "Violence Is Always An Option." You're not at the top of the food chain in Dragon Pass, and attempting to oppose the surrounding powers is likely to lead to one of several events labeled Clan Destruction. Furthermore, to become King of Dragon Pass, you need an alliance, which can't be won by violence. Remember Ernalda's law: "There is always another way." There's one case where you might be able to do this and take the plot Off the Rails: If you're the tribal monarch, and the clans rise against you, you can win against the combined might of the rest of your tribe, and this does regain the tribe's loyalty for the moment. Don't count on it, though. | |

Violence is the Only Option: Inverted, eventually. Initially averted, as while military matters are important, they are generally no more so in conventional gameplay than diplomacy, trade, religious rituals, or exploration, with most problems having a multitude of options. However, as one progresses through the game, they may find that the only way to win is through careful diplomacy and peaceful rule. That said, the god of death has expectations. Even peace focused clans need to raid occasionally if they want to receive his blessings when they're needed. | |

Token Evil Teammate | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_7a9afe0a | comment |
Token Jackass Clan Leader: Tricksters can get away with crimes that would get other Orlanthi outlawed. Unless, of course, you expel them yourself. Eurmal himself is essentially a Token Chaotic Team Mate in the Orlanthi pantheon. He's tolerated because the results of his mischief are generally better for Orlanth than his enemies. In gameplay, this works the same way. Sure, a trickster won't always give stellar advice, and will sometimes bring bad things upon your clan. They can also do fantastically against certain common event chains. Of course, most people take one for the fun factor. | |

Ancestor Veneration | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_7cb3c6c1 | comment |
Ancestor Veneration: Your clan ancestors expect you to abide by the choices you (or rather, they) made in clan creation, such as whether or not to take thralls. You can even build them a shrine and sacrifice to them as if they were gods. The ancestors can also show up in person if you please them by following their ways, or anger them by abandoning those ways (or by quoting too many proverbs). | |

Worthless Yellow Rocks | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_83856158 | comment |
Worthless Yellow Rocks: To an extent. Most of the currency of the realm is in silver, but being an agrarian society, Orlanthi prefer to barter. Silver is thrown in with the rest of your clan's bric-a-brac as generic "goods". Cattle is much more important, and your clan may actually be wildly disappointed when presented with chests of silver coins instead of cows. As far as the Orlanthi are concerned, the Horse-Spawn suffer from this trope; the Horse-Spawn see cattle-raising to be the profession of slaves, and will be insulted when offered cows. Goods are the equivalent of cold hard cash, in a way. Cows give various benefits, even if you never sell them. They breed and give you milk, while still being roughly equal in value. Essentially, goods are liquid assets, while cows are long-term investments. Although both can be traded freely in game. | |

The Chosen One | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_89631688 | comment |
The Chosen One: What the prophecies say the player's chosen king/queen is, though failure is possible. Late in the game, a complicated quest chain involving a supposed-Chosen One named Saraska can occur, in which the titular would-be Queen approaches your clan, claims to be the Queen spoken of in the prophecies, and asks for your support. You can conduct a divination that might either say she's a fraud, or prove she's actually telling the truth, and based on that you can either support or oppose her. Even if the divination says she's the Chosen One and you provide her your full backing all the way through to the end, she'll always be killed by the gods in the crown test, proving her not to be the prophesied ruler; if you backed her all the way, you'll be thrown into damage control to make up for her failures, which you can turn around to potentially jump-start your own rule. | |

Among the gods there is Eurmal.

This also applies to his Tricksters who are often much more knowledgeable than other clan members and have powerful magic unique to them, but are just as unpredictable and insane as their god. | |

Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism: Some of the gods are portrayed on various levels of it. Intellectual Animal: Uralda, goddess of cows, is a cow who can speak like a human. She's also daughter of Ernalda, a completely human goddess; no one comments on precisely how that's possible. Beast Man: Yinkin, a minor god of cats, resembles a grey-furred human with a lynx's head, tail, and digitigrade legs with paws (though he has furry human-esque hands). He's also a brother of Orlanth, who appears completely human. (Their mother is a mountain.) There is also Urox, another of Orlanth's brothers, who is essentially a minotaur. | |

They are also unruly, demanding, short-tempered, arrogant, and slow to forgiveness. Most clans tolerate them for their usefulness in eliminating Chaos, but it is made very clear almost no one can stand them. Among the gods there is Eurmal. He may be one of the Lightbringers and encourages people to be open-minded, but he is still a thoroughly Chaotic Stupid deity who incites discord and even introduced death into the world because he thought it would be amusing.

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The Orlanthi have a very tribal value system. Peace between clans typically means only occasionally raiding each other for cattle and goods, foreigners are never to be trusted (at least, not above your own people), and while secret murders are prosecutable crimes, killing openly only allows the wronged party to seek vengeance. The manual even says that to succeed, you must put aside your modern morality and think like an Orlanthi. | |

Pyrrhic Victory: You can invoke this if your tribe turns against you and you have the Earth Clod, which is essentially a magic weapon of mass destruction that causes a catastrophic earthquake. The rest of the tribe will still successfully dethrone and destroy your clan, but the losses you make with the Earth Clod ensure the other clans are just as beat up as yours which leads to the tribe as a whole to dissolve. This still results in a Non Standard Game Over, so it mainly serves as a way of getting back at the tribes who turned on you. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Otherwise, this is strongly-discouragedL a key element of success in heroquesting is following the script as closely as possible. Deviate and at best, your champion will simply fail in their endeavor and be booted out of the realm of the Gods, with the quest being labeled a failure. At worst, your champion can wind up throwing off the narrative so much that they wind up lost and wandering in the Gods' domains, which will likely end with their death, or something much worse. Obviously, this is also considered a failure. Even in the rare cases where ditching the script manages to work out, your clan will have serious trepidation over what your effective-rewriting of the myths actually foretells. | |

My Rules Are Not Your Rules | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_b3b1115f | comment |
My Rules Are Not Your Rules: If your clan runs too low on people, it's Game Over. If you raid an enemy clan repeatedly, they'll first hire more weaponthanes to defend against you. If you nonetheless continue to successfully raid the same enemy clan, they will eventually pack up and relocate across the map to a place too distant for raiding. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Freedom is what Orlanth treasures most, and all Orlanthi are willing to die rather than be enslaved by the Pharaoh. The clans that take thralls don't seem to see anything hypocritical about what they're doing to their fellow Orlanthi. This all falls squarely under Deliberate Values Dissonance. Some of the dialogue choices (especially ones that come up when someone is airing a grievance against the clan ring) make it apparent that there's not much in the way of actual law enforcement. Obedience is expected socially and the traditional laws are everywhere... but the only true rule is, "No one can make you do anything." | |

Top God | |

Top God: Orlanth is the official chief deity of the Orlanthi pantheon. Your clan, however, may primarily venerate Ernalda or Elmal as their own chief deity instead, for theological reasons related to your particular creation myth. | |

Berserk Button | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Dragons also have a very strange moral system as well; for dragons, particularly dragonewts, they very strongly desire to recover their bodies after death, but won't be bothered if you sold that body to another clan or made a suit of armor out of it. They also have utterly bizarre Berserk Buttons (i.e. clearing one's throat, slapping a mosquito, or humming). | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: You have a clan. It can muster raiding parties. Your neighbors have realms. They can muster armies. It's difficult to get warnings, but if they start, pay attention. Specific examples include sufficiently-alienating the Trolls, Dwarves, Telmori, and Ducks. Likewise, even though he was your sworn enemy, alienating the Pharaoh's emissaries and scouting parties too much can also lead to a swift end. And if the Uroxi cult decides that you're tainted by Chaos, they'll purge you (though you really have to go out of your way to get this to happen). After you form a tribe you now have your own armies to call upon, so you don’t have to worry about being devastated by the aforementioned empires anymore no matter how much you pester them. However, it can still happen; if you alienate your own tribe enough, every clan will turn on you in a huge battle you can’t win. You need the Feathered Horse Queen's blessing to form a kingdom and win the game. Alienate the Horse Spawn too much and this becomes impossible. Likewise, in the game's climax, you'll need to complete a series of difficult decisions and skill checks relevant to this. Failure here means that your clan will be shouldered aside while someone else unites Dragon Pass. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_c289826f | comment |
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Though it never uses the r-word, one event has two young married men being abducted by outlaw women on horseback. It's up to the player whether the trope is played straight, where the men are charged with adultery- one of the worst crimes the Orlanthi have, which practically guarantees they'll be outlawed- or averted, by declaring that they were forced and are therefore not guilty of anything. There is no option to punish the women, though. Child by Rape: After the above scene, the bandit women return with babies as proof of "adultery". Legally, that's enough proof for them to be in the right, regardless of whether or not the men were kidnapped and forced into it. As morally reprehensible as it is, unless you can find a loophole, you'll have to punish the men or else suffer for it. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Uroxi warriors are famed as staunch hunters of Chaos and are some of the most powerful warriors in all Dragon Pass... They are also unruly, demanding, short-tempered, arrogant, and slow to forgiveness. Most clans tolerate them for their usefulness in eliminating Chaos, but it is made very clear almost no one can stand them. | |

The Alliance | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_c8c968c3 | comment |
At game's spawn, there is a pre-made tribe called Colymar. Depending on circumstances, a few other clans might conspire to assassinate their king. They might try to get you involved. If you agree but the attempt fails, and the Colymar find out you were involved, it will not end well for you. Just for reference, you can expect frequent raids of upwards of 40 weaponthanes and 400 footmen, when you can, realistically, manage about 15-20 and ~150, respectively, at that point in the game. And they'll be raiding you at least once a year, if not more. Recovery, much less victory, is exceedingly-unlikely at that point. | |

Video Game Caring Potential: Towards nobles. And Earthshakers. And your people will become immensely happy if you protect them, hold feasts, and win battles. Befriending the Ducks, helping them by either sending warriors or initiating a sucessful ritual to help them in their fight against the undead, treating them as equal Orlanthi despite the cultural differences between your races and even managing the difficult task of convincing your tribe to accept their membership. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: You can send nobles on Heroquests, wherein they step into the shoes of a god and beat the hell out of Chaos. Or step into the shoes of a god and go toe to toe with a god. Many gods get to be badass, but two go above and beyond: Humakt, who fights Orlanth himself to a standstill over several days, and Elmal, who gets dismembered repeatedly while doing his duty. And if you screw up, your hero gets dismembered as Elmal and comes back from the Spirit World as gibs. This is disconcerting to everyone involved. | |

Religion is Magic | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_d0309fad | comment |
Religion is Magic: Just about all magical power is granted by the gods, though there are some exceptions; A clan's ancestors will also give magic if they are pleased by the behavior of the clan, and shamans gain their power from spirits unaligned with any pantheon. Magic not derived from either the gods or ancestors is thought of as dangerous at best and wicked at worst, which are not unfair assumptions most of the time. | |

Feuding Families: One event chain has one of your families start a feud with a family in another clan. It starts with a stolen horse and continues for decades, costing several lives even if you manage to keep the clans as a whole out of it. If the game continues long enough, eventually the great-granddaughters of the original feuders make peace—and then your people start seeing the ghosts of a previous generation still fighting. | |

Fortunately it is also the easiest hero quest in the game, with even a mediocre clan member being able to complete it as long as you answer the choices correctly. After committing to the endgame event chain, your tribal monarch cannot die of old age. | |

Buy Them Off | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_e0222ff2 | comment |
Buy Them Off: Wergild is required when someone important is killed. The price in cows depends on the dead person's rank. If the dead person was one of the Ducks, they'll demand wergild in silver because they have no use for cows in the marshes. | |

Animal Jingoism: Orlanthi are cat people, thanks to a Bad Dog (yes, that's his name) in mythology. They hate dogs, and you may be approached by worshipers of Yinkin who have heard that another tribe has dogs and would like your help in killing them off; helping nets approval from your ancestors. | |

Hate Sink | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: One of the most annoying events involves a woman known as the Unrepentant Agitator, a foul tempered and shrill lady who complains about everything and will constantly lower the clan's mood every time the event repeats. If you get her married to someone else, she may get divorced and come right back more annoying than ever. The best way to get rid of her is to outlaw her, but then there is a small chance she may stay anyway or make the clan unhappier with her banishment being seen as too harsh. | |

Meaningful Rename | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_e6a901a3 | comment |
Meaningful Rename: Should you train the Earthshakers (triceratopses) as draft animals rather than war mounts, you are given the option to rename your clan Earthshaker, which increases your reputation and standing with your neighbors. If you win the Long Game with a tribal queen, she can take a new name during the "mountain mating" event, being symbolically reborn as the daughter of Kero Fin. | |

Good Old Ways | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_e743ffa9 | comment |
Good Old Ways: Your clan's ancestors grant extra magic when you act in accordance with tradition. Tradition is ultimately one of the most important things to consider for the Orlanthi. If you hated dragons centuries ago, then you are expected to hate dragons now and forever. If you break from tradition, you'd better have a good reason to do so, and even if you do, you will be punished for it somehow. However, when the Orlanthi are presented with an entirely new situation (like the civilized duck people), they have no idea how to react, and it's one of the few situations where every option is perfectly valid. To become King of Dragon Pass, you have to avert this and make new traditions. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Common, given the plethora of species and cultures on Glorantha. The Orlanthi have some odd preferences and customs, and you're advised to not bind yourself to a modern moral system. You have to think like an Orlanthi, and even more so think like an Orlanthi who follows his or her clan's history. Dragons also have a very strange moral system as well; for dragons, particularly dragonewts, they very strongly desire to recover their bodies after death, but won't be bothered if you sold that body to another clan or made a suit of armor out of it. They also have utterly bizarre Berserk Buttons (i.e. clearing one's throat, slapping a mosquito, or humming). | |

Rules Lawyer: Practically the job of your Lhankor Mhy ring member.

There's also the small matter of legal claims having Reality Warper power, such as exorcising a haunting spirit or destroying a prison-cube in the Making of the Storm Tribe hero quest. | |

Fantastic Caste System | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_edcc813f | comment |
Fantastic Caste System: From lowest to highest, it more or less goes: Thralls (slaves), Cottars (freemen), Carls (landowners), Weaponthanes (soldiers), and Nobles. They are more like social classes than actual castes. The nobles represent the best and brightest of your clan, and their positions are not hereditary. If you manage to own cows, you automatically qualify as a carl. If you can afford (or in some cases, get donated) horse and weapons, you're applicable as a weaponthane, and anyone at all can end up as a thrall if they get taken as prisoners of war and their relatives aren't able to ransom them. Even thralldom is not hereditary - the children of thralls are cottars. | |

Barbarian Tribe | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_ee302ebd | comment |
Barbarian Tribe: Aside from your Orlanthi, you also have the following near or in Dragon Pass: The Telmori are a primitive tribe of werewolves, who will occasionally raid your sheep. Making peace with them is a necessary step once you form a Tribe. The Praxians are not one tribe, but a bunch of them to the east in a land called Prax. They're famous for riding just about any creature that isn't a horse. In fact, they see horses as unclean. Animals they ride include llamas, bison, zebras, sable antelopes... The Orlanthi themselves are a Zig-Zagged example, as while they do enjoy a raid from time to time, they're just as happy tending to their steads, and hold tradition particularly high. | |

Dumbass Has a Point: Eurmal, and by extension his Tricksters, are quick to question less reasonable Orlanthi laws and think some old traditions must be discarded in order for peace to truly reign. Considering what happens in the route to the best ending, they were right all along. Also Tricksters are able to give extremely good advice in specific events. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: It can be inferred that the "Long Way Home" (it's capitalized, implying it's a cultural concept) the Horse-Spawn reference is this trope. It's not the fastest way home, or the one you expect to take, but it's the one you'll be most grateful to have when all ordinary paths are cut off. Theya tells the Horse-Spawn that, in this situation, allying with the Orlanthi is their Long Way Home. | |

Railroading: The final questline requires you to take certain actions in a prescribed order, or it either won't advance or you'll lose. When dealing with the Feathered Horse Queen, you are not giving orders, you're following them. One way or another, Saraska's kingdom is doomed to fail. Orlanth will not allow her to be crowned. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can raid rival clans, take them as slaves, and sacrifice them to your gods. You can even force them off their lands which will kick them all the way across the map. Then you can petition Eurmal to send curses at them. Or ask Maran Gor to ruin their harvest. Humakt's sword actually gives you a massive boost in battle when you choose to "kill as many enemies as possible." If you're going to raid, the game mechanics encourage picking one clan and raiding them over and over again. The game tracks their soldiers and wealth being whittled down, so each raid is easier than the last until it eventually triggers an event where they send a diplomat to beg for a cease fire in exchange for tribute. | |

Our Werewolves Are Different | |
| King of Dragon Pass (Video Game) / int_f8b3fa5d | comment |
Specific examples include sufficiently-alienating the Trolls, Dwarves, Telmori, and Ducks. Likewise, even though he was your sworn enemy, alienating the Pharaoh's emissaries and scouting parties too much can also lead to a swift end. And if the Uroxi cult decides that you're tainted by Chaos, they'll purge you (though you really have to go out of your way to get this to happen). After you form a tribe you now have your own armies to call upon, so you don’t have to worry about being devastated by the aforementioned empires anymore no matter how much you pester them. However, it can still happen; if you alienate your own tribe enough, every clan will turn on you in a huge battle you can’t win. | |
