THREE DOORS TO YOUR HEART

The Uleria Companion Compendium

Three Doors to Your Heart is a Uleria cult sourcebook for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. It is intended to flesh out the cult and its followers so they can bring life, joy, and love to campaigns everywhere.

Explore the pre-dark sacred time ceremonies, learn the history and traditions of your local Uleria cult,  discover fascinating places to visit, navigate the tensions and connections with other cults, get infected by strong passions, use other people’s love to empower yourself, tell stories to educate and amuse, sing songs to heighten or dampen the mood, make love and war on the battlefield, find your personal role in society, speak the love-tongue, transform yourself into a crowd, experience different facets of festivals and worship, help people overcome grief and infertility, open all three doors to your heart and follow the path of the oldest goddess, find your place in society, dance your way to illumination, and above all; be the love that is needed in a world of conflict and war.

Three Doors to Your Heart will give gamemasters all the information they need to flesh out the Uleria cult and its followers, and turn them into unpredictable allies, inscrutable mysteries, or subversive adversaries. This book is perfect to add some spice in your campaign or provide ideas for adventures that need other strategies than maximum bloodshed.

This book will also give players ideas for the kind of multi-faceted characters that follow Uleria, and the tools to create them. Whether famed performers, sexual healers, diplomatic courtesans, alluring spies, powerful earth queens, tantric warriors, or mystic explorers, the tools in here will help make these characters come to life.

Building on what is presented in Gods of Glorantha: The Earth Goddesses, Three Doors to Your Heart aims to provide a fair and nuanced view of the Uleria cult’s activities and give them context and grounding in the surrounding cultures. If you enjoyed our previous book Life and Traditions Under the Sun Dome, be prepared for similar deep dives into culture, tradition, and how it shapes player characters and campaigns. All presented with a playful wink and a seductive twist of a hip.

Come join us and explore all the ways the most ancient goddess still affects the world and the people in it!
