Ahh, good ol' Peter Metcalfe. He writes some good
material for Glorantha, even if his acerbic
personality doesn't exactly gel with many (including
myself).

Bad Deal is the central point of the High Llama Pass,
in the middle of the Nidan Mountains which separate
Fronela with Ralios. It is famous for being a
stronghold of the Openhanded heresy among the Dwarves,
where they will trade with almost all other, even
including Trolls and Elves.

Indeed, the east is *very* far!
