Storm Pantheon art preview

Posted on January 3, 2023

Orlanth is the grandson of Earth and Sky, his siblings are the winds, a bull, a cat, violence, evil, the mountain snow, and Death. He married the Green Lady, and his offspring…

Notes on Mee Vorala

Posted on July 25, 2022

Mee Vorala is a daughter of Flamal. The Black Elves are not Aldryami, as they are not children of Aldrya. They get along with other elves in friendly circumstances, but they are…

The Taxonomy of Animals

Posted on July 18, 2022

The taxonomy of animals in Glorantha is quite unlike our own. It is based on divine genealogies and has some interesting results! It is something I particularly enjoy about the setting –…

Lightbringers Pantheon

Posted on July 15, 2022

An interesting thing about the Lightbringers Pantheon is the number of non-elemental deities are prominent. Perhaps that was a key factor in the magic of the quest? Sharp-eyed viewers might note a…

Lunar Deities

Posted on July 14, 2022

Here is another Work in Progress by Katrin Dirim – this shows the relationship of various Lunar deities. A few surprises here to the uninitiated perhaps, and lots of secret details for…

A Cluster of Storm Gods

Posted on July 12, 2022

Up to cause trouble no doubt! Eurmal? Eurmal is a deeper old thing. Surpassed Ratslaff as the deity of Disorder, and surpassed Tylenea as the deity of Illusion. The Trickster appears early,…

Yelm Disintegrates WiP

Posted on July 10, 2022

Several important solar deities are generally thought of as the children or lesser parts of Yelm, said to be created when Yelm was murdered by Orlanth. The God Learners called such entities…

New Mythic Symbolism

Posted on July 8, 2022

These illustrated divine genealogies were product of the New Mythic Symbolism school that first appeared in the Nochet and Boldhome Knowledge Temples around 1624. The Mythic Symbolism school was a God Learner…

Earth Goddesses WIP

Posted on July 7, 2022

Another WIP from Katrin Dirim for the divine genealogy charts. Here’s a first glimpse at the Earth goddesses. Our God Learner scribe really outdid herself here! I was surprised to find Odayla…

Darkness Genealogy

Posted on July 3, 2022

I’ve always loved the divine genealogies that Kalin Kadiev did for us for the Glorantha Sourcebook, but unfortunately they were not complete enough for the Cults Book. Fortunately, Katrin Dirim has risen…

Stranger Taxonomies

Posted on June 24, 2022

Now for some stranger taxonomies, here’s some of the animals NOT descended from Ernalda. Note that Palar and Jaskal are “aunts” or “uncles” of Ernalda and Maran Gor. How does this square…

God Learner Divine Genealogies II

Posted on June 24, 2022

Here’s another fascinating genealogy – that of the Air gods. Orlanth, like Ernalda and Yelm, has many children. These are both srvuali (like Vinga) and burtae (like Barntar and Voriof). Asrelia and…

God Learner Divine Genealogies I

Posted on June 24, 2022

Having a little fun working on God Learner divine genealogies – I clearly always loved my Hesiod! Some are filled with fascinating insights if you look at them enough – for example,…

Leika Blackspear

Posted on July 15, 2021

Queen Leika Blackspear has got to be one of the toughest survivors in Sartarite tribal history. Once an adventurer, she became the Colymar tribal king after her second cousin King Kallai Rockbuster…

A taxonomy of Glorantha life

Posted on July 4, 2021

courtesy of the God Learners. Greg came up with this system very early on. Long before anyone had a glimmer of Orlanth or the Red Goddess. That’s the God Learner taxonomy and…

ISS1103 Anaxial’s Roster – Not Enough Room in the Ark (2004)

 Latest revision: 15 June 2004 The following creatures were planned for inclusion in Anaxial’s Roster, but ended up being cut due to space constraints: Creatures of Above Dende (Boatbird, Giant Loon, Oslira…

Genealogy of the Earth Gods (2014)

The genealogy of the gods is a matter of importance for poets, philosophers, and sorcerers. These genealogies help illustrate the runic devolutions and combinations from the perfect Celestial Court to the mixed…
