***RUNAL*** aka ***GURPS Runal*** (ガープス・ルナル) is a [role-playing game](/source/Role-playing_game) supplement that was written in [Japanese language](/source/Japanese_language) for the *[GURPS](/source/GURPS)* game rules. It was written by [Shou Tomono](/source/Shou_Tomono) and [Group SNE](/source/Group_SNE), then first published in 1992. It was followed in 1994 by GURPS Youmayakou.

Over twenty novels of a series named ***Runal Saga*** (ルナル・サーガ) have been published based upon *GURPS Runal*.[1]

The setting is a fantasy world named Runal that was strongly influenced by *[RuneQuest](/source/RuneQuest)*. There are seven mysterious Moons which grant magic power to worshipers.

The Moons of seven colors are worshiped by various people as follows:

- Blue Moon - The moon of lawful deities and one of the twin moons, worshiped by dwarves and humans who prefer order and law.
- Red Moon - The moon of chaotic deities and one of the twin moons, worshiped by humans who prefer liberty and disorder.
- White Ring Moon - The moon of magic, worshiped by wizards and called Ring Moon because it split in two forming a ring when its gods left for a higher plane of existence.
- Green Moon - The moon of plants and forests, worshiped by elves and called *Elfa*. Elfa culture is similar to the [Native Americans](/source/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas).
- Wandering Moon - A capricious moon whose orbit is random, also called the Moon of all colors and worshiped by various non-human races.
- Silver Moon - The moon of strangeness and madness, worshiped by residents of elemental planes and fearful monsters resembling creatures of the [Cthulhu Mythos](/source/Cthulhu_Mythos).
- Black Moon - The moon of evil, worshiped by demons.

The Rhiado continent is the main land and focus of the game. The strongest nation is the Tor-Addness Empire which is modeled after the [Tang dynasty](/source/Tang_dynasty) of China. Its state religion is the worship of the Blue Moon. The Toru-Addness Empire are disputing with neighboring countries which worship the Red Moon.

***YUELL***,[2] the sequel of *GURPS Runal*, was released in 2005 as a supplement to the 4th edition of *GURPS*.
