Map of Glamour and Raibanth Area

Posted on March 31, 2024

Here’s another neat map showing the area around Glamour and Raibanth. I believe Nick and company used this as the base of a map in the Rough Guide to Glamour. Note how…

Master Maps of Central Genertela

Posted on March 30, 2024

So these are the “master maps” for RQ – series of poster size maps that go from the Crater to Vultures Country, from the Elf Sea to Maniria. The scale is 1…

Comparative Timeline of the Settlement of Dragon Pass

Posted on March 30, 2024

From time to time I think it is worth reminding that the settlement of Dragon Pass after the Inhuman Occupation has a shorter history than the British colonies in North America +…

Population Movement in Dragon Pass

Posted on March 30, 2024

Apropos of my previous post – there’s a lot of interaction between the peoples of Dragon Pass, Prax, and the Holy Country. Many leading Sartarite families have married Esrolians, many Goldentongue merchants…

By Caravan from Swenstown to New Pavis II

Posted on March 29, 2024

The traditional caravan route between New Pavis and Dragon Pass goes from Swenstown to Pimper’s Block and then along Caravan Alley to Bigglestone, from there up to the Paps, and then on…

The Moral Evil of Glorantha

Posted on March 28, 2024

Wakboth is the moral evil in the world. Let’s parse that out for a moment. Most of the gods – Orlanth, Storm Bull, Lodril, Yelm, Shhorg, etc. – caused destruction and “bad…

Chaos in Glorantha

Posted on March 27, 2024

From the earliest days of Glorantha, Chaos was not like the other Runes. It first shows up in Greg’s stories with Gbaji. The earliest description of the Chaos Rune places it among…

Yanioth

Posted on March 17, 2024

It should be of no surprise that Yanioth is one of my favorite pregens. She’s no fighter, with no combat skills beyond an axe she can’t actually use with her shield (but…

Vasana Ernaldoring

Posted on March 16, 2024

Vasana Ernaldoring is one of those who fought in the Hero Wars. We know of her largely through the saga about her life attributed to Sorala Tor, a scribe who followed Argrath…

Cults of Runequest series

Posted on March 11, 2024

These are the six books so far printed that are the results so far of the Cults of Runequest series. I’m including Red Book of Magic because it is the result of…

By Caravan from Swenstown to New Pavis I

Posted on March 9, 2024

It takes just under two weeks for a caravan to go between Swenstown and New Pavis. That will take you along a route that goes to Pimper’s Block, Days Rest, Tourney Altar,…

Hero Wars 1621-1627

Posted on March 9, 2024

The Hero Wars are the Big Story for the RuneQuest setting. What initially drives the Hero Wars is simple – the Sartarite drive to free themselves from the Lunar Empire and the…

Darkness Genealogy II

Posted on March 7, 2024

The Darkness pantheon is an unusual in that most of these cults are worshiped primarily or even exclusively by non-humans. Darkness is deadly, fearsome, devouring, crushing, cold, silent, secretive, and mysterious, and…

Understanding Gloranthan Cosmology

Posted on March 7, 2024

To really understand Gloranthan cosmology, keep two things in mind: 1. The world is created by the conflict/dance of the five elements – Air, Darkness, Earth, Fire, and Water. This interaction is…

Orlanth Subcult Membership

Posted on March 4, 2024

In Sartar, more than a third (35%) of all Orlanth initiates belong to the Orlanth Adventurous subcult. A little less than two thirds (62%) belong to the Orlanth Thunderous subcult. And a…

Rune Masters

Posted on March 2, 2024

So why is there variation in cult Rune Masters, some have only Rune Lords or Rune Priests, while others have both? Good question. So Rune Priests are the most common way that…
