PAN TANG
“At intervals along the walls they saw the screaming statues - once men ani
women whom Jagreen Lern and his forefathers had turned to rock but al lowed to
retain their life and ability to speak. They spoke little, but screamer much, their
ghostly shouts rolling over the disgusting city like the tormenter voices of the
damned - and damned they were.“
- Michael Moorcock, STORMBRlNGER

Pan Tang is a grim island of lurking evil. Wild jungles to the

north resound to the roar of a thousand tigers - the animal
sacred to Chardhros the Reaper. The Plain of Glass divides
the island, a shining wasteland of ancient volcanic
catastrophe. The farmland to the south is a living hell to the
slaves who work the great plantations.
The capital of Pan Tang is Hwamgaarl, the City of
Screaming Statues. Tigers walk among men and feed when
they please. Sorcerers study dark knowledge and summon
awesome horrors from other planes to do their bidding. The
citizens of Hwamgaarl take their pleasure in the Gardens of
Pain, gather their knowledge at the University of Lucid
Perversity, and propitiate the Lords of Chaos at the Palace-
Temple of the Theocrat.
Jagreen Lern is the Theocrat of Pan Tang, presiding over
this nightmare land. A new age is coming, and his armies are
ready. Other nations of the Young Kingdoms already plot
against Mehibone, and soon those plots bring war. Pan Tang
hovers, vulture-like, awaiting the results of the first violent
clash of Young Kingdom armies against the remaining might
of Melnibone. Though Melnibone has ruled the world for
10,000 years, in only a small fraction of that time will it be
destroyed.

WHAT IS STORMBRINGER?
STORMBRINGER is a roleplaying game in which the players join
together to tell a heroic adventure. Under the supervision of one
player, who takes the role of gamemaster, you and your friends
verbally act out the roles of characters in a story. You will face the
same kinds of situations and dangers that Elric. Moonglum, and
Dorian Hawkmoon encountered, but this time you are in control and
the results depend on what you decide your characters should do!

SORCERERS OF PAN TANG provides adventures and background for the STORM-
BRINGER roleplaying game. It features five scenarios, a magic system, information on the
island of Pan Tang and its inhabitants, instructions for creating Pan Tangian characters,
dozens of demons, and intriguing illustrations and maps.

fewer still have returned to report on what they have
