Pages 6-9 are an excellent introduction to Glorantha for any prospective player looking to quickly get a grasp of the setting's beating heart (Dragon Pass, naturally). Beyond that, it's two things alchemically intermingled: a fantastic presentation of Boldhome, one of the wonders of Sartar, and an attempt to get players for a LARP up to speed on what they need to know, assuming they know almost nothing. It's slimmer than Glamour, and if you don't know what it's meant for, the zigzagging between descriptions of the city and basic setting information (and the choices of NPCs it describes) would be baffling, but in my heart it's still a 5/5.
