A world of gods, heroes, and mythic fantasy, fully described in epic detail.
Glorantha is one of the oldest and most influential fantasy role-playing settings. It is the discovery of Greg Stafford, who has accumulated that universes myths, legends, and other lore since 1966. Glorantha has been the setting for several role-playing game systems, including RuneQuest and HeroQuest, and is the setting for the award-winning computer game King of Dragon Pass.
Although games and stories set in Glorantha have been in publication since 1975, until now the setting has never been fully detailed in all its glory. Now with the Guide to Glorantha you can explore this classic fantasy setting in all its glorious depth. The Guide to Glorantha is a complete encyclopedia of Glorantha. Cosmology, culture, geography, history, mythology, people, and places are all documented in never before published detail. Hundreds of maps and illustrations bring the setting to life.
