YOUR WORLD
You live in a world called "Glorantha." It's flat. The sky is a dome overhead, and Hell--the land of darkness spirits and the dead--is beneath (click to enlarge any picture).
Welcome to Three Seasons in Sartar. Because Glorantha is a big world, and there is tremendous depth to it, I will try to ease those of you new to the setting into the campaign as painlessly as possible. With that in mind, let me spare myself some 6000 words or so by starting with some pictures.
YOUR CONTINENT
This is the northern continent of Genertela. It is about the same size as the continental United States, and has about the same weather. It's cold and frozen in the northern and warm along the southern coasts.
YOUR COUNTRY
You live in a kingdom called "Sartar." Your country was invaded sixteen years ago by the Lunar Empire and now they rule you. Your people are not so wild about that arrangement.
YOUR HOME
You live in the high mountain valleys in a place that looks just like this.
YOUR HOUSE
You live on a small farmstead run by the oldest man and woman in your extended family. You live and work here with your parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
YOUR PEOPLE
You are a "Heortling." You probably have blonde or red hair, though black is not uncommon. Your skin is fair. You will have lots of tattoos. Once you are initiated as an adult, you will have tattoos marking which clan and family you belong to. More will come later.
YOUR LIFESTYLE
Men are farmers, hunters, and warriors. Women are farmers, cooks, mothers, and crafts-makers. However, men and women can formally change their gender roles. Women can become warriors and treated exactly like men, and vice versa. These women have done just that.
