Doing some edits and revisions to Gods and Goddesses of Glorantha. More notes on Orlanth Rex, more on the family associations of Asrelia, Ernalda, and Maran Gor, more on the Grain Goddesses and Argan Argar, and some secrets of the Gold Wheel Dancers and Belintar the God-King. Good fun!
What is the significance of the double ended trident thingy in his left hand? It is a vajra, which is the Sanskrit word for “thunderbolt.” It is also very similar to how the ancient Greeks depicted Zeus’ thunderbolt.
The Indo-Greek art of Gandhara has had a huge impact on how I perceive Glorantha.
