Lunar Alcohol

Posted on February 22, 2022

For most Pelorians, the drinks of choice are:Corn beer. Like chicha, this is made in huge earthenware vats and because of its low alcohol content (1-3%) is consumed in vast quantities. Corn beer…

Dragon Pass Alcohol

Posted on February 22, 2022

The most common alcoholic drinks in Dragon Pass are: Beer. Made from emmer wheat, einkorn, or barley, beer (I am using the term broadly) is the most common drink. Brewing is often associated…

RuneQuest and Glorantha source references

Posted on February 15, 2022

Sorcery Plans

Posted on February 15, 2022

I have lots of plans with sorcery. But I see no point in releasing a whole series of “generic” sorcery spells until we really have a vehicle where sorcery is more than…

The Web of Arachne Solara

Posted on February 14, 2022

Glorantha is held together by the Web of Arachne Solara, a vast net woven out of the strands of myths – each the encapsulated deed of gods or heroes in the Godtime….

Yelm & Chaos

Posted on February 8, 2022

For most Gloranthan religions, Chaos is something outside of the realm of gods and spirits. There are a few gods or spirits that were corrupted by Chaos or who otherwise embraced it…

The Telmori

Posted on February 7, 2022

The Telmori have two basic forms – more or less ordinary human or all-but-invulnerable wolf (when the moon is full). When they are human, they can become wolf-like through magic, but to…

Safelster

Posted on February 4, 2022

Safelster is a fascinating area, both familiar and very different. Some 2.9 million people are within 100 km of Lake Felster, which itself is about 200 km long. The area is densely…

The Winter Deity Trinity

Posted on February 3, 2022

It is the right time of year (at least in Colorado) to talk about the trinity of winter deities – Valind, Inora, and Himile. These gods are much more important than their…
