Glorantha

Mother of the Celestial court, an Elder god

  • Nearly universal

Glorantha was born of a union between Maker and Grower and was the first life in the world. Scholars often claim that Glorantha is the mother of both the powers and the elements of the Celestial Court.

Glorantha is impossible to reach through worship. Most scholars claim she died with the rest of the Celestial Court. Others argue that she only changed her form. A few believe that she was the First Woman, or that she still lives, wandering the world.
