If we look at Chalana Arroy in Central Genertela, we find that it is actually a surprisingly big cult – some 140,000 members in total. The cult is most densely numbered in…

Lhankor Mhy in Central Genertela
There are roughly 100,000 initiates of the Knowing God in Central Genertela. This includes those that call the god Lhankor Mhy (probably about 60%), and those that call him Buserian (maybe 40%)….
Solar Pentans
There are 600,000 Solar Pentans. A crude breakdown of the cult numbers would suggest that they have about: The remaining 200k are children so they are not in a cult? Yes Those…
Zola Fel Valley
This is another one of those posts about scale. Pavis County and Sun Dome County are where New Pavis, the Big Rubble, and the Sun Dome Temple of Prax are located. It…
Thoughts on city size
When we think about most cities in RuneQuest, they are pretty small. New Pavis is a little over 5000 people. Jonstown, Swenstown, and Wilmskirk are even smaller – none are more than…
Esrolia’s Population
Esrolia is very densely populated – “too dense” say many. At somewhere around 200 people per square kilometer, it is even more densely populated than medieval France. This means that every 4…
Loskalm and New Hrestolism
In Loskalm, Malkionism developed a strong current of dualism, positing that the Invisible God’s awareness of itself created a lesser (and flawed) demiurge that in turn created lesser emanations – powers, elements…
Talastar
One of the more interesting areas in Peloria is Talastar, one of the great centers of Orlanthi culture. I’m defining Talastar broadly – including Lakrene, Anadiki, Brolia, and Skanthi as parts of…
Civilized Prax population numbers
As I am doing some Prax editing, I thought some numbers might be worth posting. These are population numbers in Civilized Prax, mind you. There are just under 26k humans in Pavis…
Suppression of Orlanth Under the Lunar Empire
As we all know, the Lunar Empire tries to suppress certain cults when possible. The top of the list is of course Orlanth, but also cults also officially disfavored include Storm Bull,…
Hon-eel’s Descendants and the Imperial Nobility
In 1486, the Lunar goddess Hon-eel, daughter of the Red Emperor and Sandene, gave birth to twins, conceived with the Secret Light of the Sun. One was a boy, blond and pale-eyed,…
The Throne Room of Nochet
Here’s a nice illustration of the throne room of Nochet. Now obviously this is an adaptation of the Gloranthan original to look more Minoan but the base elements are there. We have…
Prax and the Wastes
Beyond Vulture Country is the vast lands of Genert’s Wastes. Although Vulture Country is an arid badlands, there are grasslands and scrublands in the Wastes. Although the Lunars were convinced that those…
Refuge
The city of Refuge is port city in God Forgot and a Brithini outpost which continues its tenuous existence using the old caste systems of Brithos. Cautious and defensive, the rulers are…
The Leftarm Islands
Off the southern tip of Heortland is the area called God Forgot. It is associated with the Bandori valley and the Marcher Lands. Collectively this area has about 100,000 human inhabitants, roughly…
Notes on the Grazelands I
Let’s keep in mind quick how the Grazeland functions in the present age (rather than how the Yelm cult likes to tell stories about the good old days). There are about 40,000…
The Population of Lunar Tarsh
About 35% of the population of Lunar Tarsh are members of Lunar cults and a little less than 20% of the population of Lunar Tarsh came from or are descended from settlers…
Tribes of Sartar Map, 1625-1626
So there are 157 clans in Sartar (not including the Telmori and the Pol-Joni of course), with an average population of about 900 members. 600 are adults. The average tribe in Sartar…
Hiording Clan
This one is pretty incomplete and fragmentary as I am not sure I want to include a finished version in the Sartar Boxed Set, but I thought the Hiording might be interesting….
Peasants in the Lunar Heartlands
Although the Lunar Empire bears less resemblance to the society presented in GRoY than folk often assume, one thing that has been present in Peloria since Time began is the split between…
Population of Genertela
The entire sentient population of Genertela is approximately 52 million (46 million humans, 6 million non-humans), which is comparable to the population of the Roman (45-60 million) or Han Empires (59 million)…
Lunar Empire size
It is worth keeping in mind that the Lunar Empire was much smaller than the Roman empire – both in terms of territory and population. The Lunar Empire includes about 8.5 million…
Esrolian influence on the Holy Country
In thinking about the Holy Country, it is perhaps worth remembering that almost 80% of the population are Orlanthi. However, there is a decidedly Earth religion and matriarchal shade to things, as…
Notes on Esrolia
Some material facts on Esrolia that I think are of importance. Esrolia is perhaps the most densely settled and intensely cultivated area in the world. It has 1.78 million people in an…
Boldhome Map Preview I
This is a work in progress for the Sartar box, but Matt Ryan and I are working on a street map of Boldhome. Combined with Olivier Sanfilippo amazing Boldhome map, this will…
