Sample cultural distribution maps

Posted on October 10, 2013

The Guide to Glorantha features cultural distribution maps for each of the eight major human cultures and three of the Elder Races. Some of these maps may prove a bit surprising. For example, those who thought that Kingdom of Sartar is the end-all and be-all of Orlanthi culture might get a shock:

And Western culture is more confined than many might expect:

Anyways this is just a quick glimpse at some of the information going into the Guide. Layout proceeds, and I should be getting some new previews from Rick in the next few days.
