Light in the Sky
Pretty much every Gloranthan spiritual tradition says that the bright and hot Sun was killed by the Storm God, ending the Golden Age. The Orlanthi particularly emphasise this myth, as it was…
Heresy and the Seven Mothers
Heresy is a term that often gets thrown around, largely without thought about what that means in Gloranthan terms. So here’s a look at what might constitute “heresy” to the Seven Mothers…

Yelmalio Initiates in Prax and Sartar

Notes on Saird
The original “homeland” of the Yelmalio cult was Saird, a border land between Dragon Pass and Dara Happa. In the early First Age, this was a mixing ground of settlers from Dragon…
Dragon Pass in the Third Age, part 2
The southeastern corner of Dragon Pass, roughly the area between Kero Fin Mountain and the barbaric Plains of Prax is the Kingdom of Sartar. It consists of many Orlanthi tribes that were…

The Sun Dome Network in Dragon Pass and Prax
If we think about the Sun Dome Temples as a network of autonomous temples and their affiliated satellites, here’s one way of thinking about the network in Dragon Pass and Prax: See…
