The Uz are an ancient and hungry race, laboring under a mighty curse. Yet they have grand plans
of their own, ready to be revealed as the Hero Wars erupt across Glorantha. Ever since the original
Trollpack was produced for RuneQuest, the Uz have been popular as unusual characters,
mysterious encounters, and dangerous enemies. Issaries Inc. is working on a multi-volume series of
supplements on the Uz and their lands, myths, and secrets. In the meantime, however, it has licensed
this interim work to satisfy the demand for rules, cults, and keywords for the Uz in the new
Hero Wars game. The Unspoken Word will be publishing this 64-page full-size book in
December. Largely written by James Frusetta, Uz series author for Issaries, it will present all-new
information on trolls as player heroes and narrator characters, as well as cults and spirits. It will
also include some key elements from previous works on the Uz. Comprehensively illustrated throughout
with new art, it brings the Dark Men to your game with the vigor and enthusiasm for which they are
so rightly (in)famous!
