He rails against the gods of chaos, his culture, and his proud ancestors. He answered Hawkmoon on the basis that he never felt real to him.
Indeed, this difference was the main reason why I picked up Hawkmoon instead of Stormbringer 22 years ago. All of this is moot of course since there will be no more EC products from Mongoose. Which way for a new version of OpenQuest?
