Top of the World

Posted on January 2, 2023

In Dragon Pass, Kero Fin is the mother of Orlanth, but for much of Peloria, Fronela, and Ralios, Orlanth resides atop Top of the World. This high peak is some 10,000 meters…

Apotheosis of the Red Goddess

Languages in Sartar

Posted on December 2, 2022

Let’s think a little bit about languages. So in Sartar pretty much everyone either speaks Sartarite (aka Heortling) or Old Tarshite as their first language. Pretty much everybody also some knows Tradetalk…

Peloria Climate

Posted on November 28, 2022

Peloria has a continental climate for the most part. Most of it is quite dry, with warm summers and cold winters. Without humans, most of Peloria would be grasslands and ripurian wetlands,…

Oslira Rune magic

Posted on September 29, 2022

So I was recently pondering why Oslira does not provide Strongnet, unlike Engizi and Zola Fel. And I realized the answer is quite easy – the Oslira cult is not the cult…

The Wetlands of Lowland Peloria

Posted on September 29, 2022

The wetlands of Lowland Peloria cover much of the Silver Shadow and Darjiin satrapies. A quick estimate is some 3500 square kilometers in those satrapies are marshlands – that’s about the fifth…

Peloria

Posted on July 25, 2022

Peloria is largely a pretty dry grassland. It has several large rivers through it, and some large wetlands. That’s how it has been since Greg’s earliest writings about the Lunar Empire. It…

The primary atmospheric deity in the Lunar Heartlands is Entekos, whose cult is largely contained to Karasal, Oronin, and the Silver Shadow). Her cult is closely associated with Dendara, and is associated…

Notes on the Origins Of Tarsh

Posted on June 10, 2022

Let’s talk a little bit about the south Pelorian Orlanthi, as I think that they are important as a background – even though the Lunar Tarshites are not merely a Lunarized variant…

The Villages around Furthest and the rest of Tarsh

Posted on January 17, 2022

So thinking about the difference between villages around Furthest and the rest of Tarsh means thinking about the difference between Saird and lowland Peloria. Tarsh was settled by two very different waves…

Caladraland

Posted on October 10, 2021

Of course the Orlanthi know Lodril – he is the great god of Caladraland, a nation of nearly a half million people at the edge of Esrolia. Lodril lives here in a…

Peloria

Posted on August 4, 2021

The Pelorian bowl is a steppe-land, about 640 km from Saird to the Thunder Delta, and about 800 km from the Sweet Sea to the Redlands frontier, where it merges into the…

Peasants in the Lunar Heartlands

Posted on June 30, 2021
