The countryside of Sartar
Is that Poland or is it Wyoming near Jackson Hole? I can’t tell. But both work. Neither are Scotland or Wales. I think it is near Jackson Hole in Grand Teton National…
Look of Orlanth
Recently I posted a picture of Orlanth Thunderous from the Cults book, that depicted him as having four arms (each carrying a tool or weapon). Some people were surprised, having imagined that…
Concept art of Great Orlanth in all three aspects

Greg’s First writings about Sartar
Among the first things Greg ever wrote about the Kingdom of Sartar was the following: “<Sartar’s> magic turned smart men into chieftains, good men into loyal followers, and enemies into pack beasts. It…
Orlanthi stick gambling
Elsewhere there was a post about Gloranthan games, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to point out the Orlanthi sport of stick gambling: Do Orlanthi have/do anything similar to…
From Pillage to Trade

Bagnot & Dunstop sketches
I thought I’d share some sketch notes for something I am working on.
French edition of RuneQuest art
A sneak peak of one of the illustrations Joann Sfar is doing for the French edition of RuneQuest. The tender devotion of a troll mother to her children. Touching!
French RQG edition
Here’s another illustration Joann Sfar is doing for the French collectors’ edition. What I love about these pieces is how “animist” his style is. I can almost see the spirits everywhere!
A well-armoured Esrolian soldier
Note the Earth-rune shaped shield. This is clearly a wealthy man, perhaps from Nochet or other settlement, who has military duties.
Draconic creatures from the Glorantha Bestiary
Assorted Draconic creatures by Cory Trego-Erdner. From The Glorantha Bestiary – a myriad of Foes, Rivals and Allies to challenge your RuneQuest Heroes!
