Glorantha is an action-packed world of adventure. Gods and Goddesses struggle here, with nations of people nothing but their pawns. The stormy tribes of Dragon Pass with their brutal but honest Storm God struggle against the Lunar Empire, led by the imperial Sun God and devious Moon Goddess.
Glorantha is an exciting world of heroes. Legends are being made by great individuals, many who are not even human beings. Some heroes and heroines serve the gods, other fight against them.
Glorantha is colorful and full of magic. Supernatural animals are found, ranging from all-powerful dragons to seven types of merfolk and the Goddess of Lions.
Glorantha is immense. If explored, it has different worlds and dimensions, whole realms where Gods, spirits and sorcerous powers come from .
Glorantha is both familiar and bizarre. It has dwarfs, but they are beings of stone who manifest rigid inflexible laws of creation, trolls who are ancient and terrifying beings of darkness, while elves are beings who are intelligent, mobile plants. Glorantha is full of surprises.
Glorantha is as deep as you want it to be, or not. Hackers and choppers have what they want, while scholars and mythologists have a vast playground of new stories, legends and myths to enjoy.
