Neat. It's nice having a full colour high res map.

 

[Exubae]

Yes... Maps

 

[Chronos]

Thanks for the map. I like that it's quite high resolution. Now I can blow it up and laminate it. 8)

Thank you Matt.

 

[PhilHibbs]

Nice! Thanks for this! But...

Tadus High Tumulus - this is normally called "Tada's High Tumulus" - is this a typo or a deliberate name variant?

Feroda is marked as a ruin - damn, I was looking forward to finding out what it was like when it was a thriving God Learner port with a fully-operational "watchdog"!

Its called Tada's in the Third Age; Second Age, as on the map. If you compare this map with other 3rd Age Prax maps, you'll several such deliberate variants.

Feroda got trashed by the giants after they trashed Robcradle circa 840, so it is a ruin although there's still GL activity there.

Weird. Greg said Tada's High Tumulus was named after Tada as in "ta dah!" -- unless the latter is a folk etymology

Nah... its that old Californian humour...

I thought, much as Wilmskirk, Swenston etc, Tada's High Tumulus was named after one of Greg's friends and colleagues - in this case Tadashi Ehara - Chaosium's business manager

I recall that too. Those in-jokes we oldies remember (like Corflu being a contraction of Correction Fluid).

We looked at the 3rd Age map in conjunction with Moon Design and decided to make some deliberate name changes to reflect historical and geographical changes between the two ages, so the names we've changed don't negate the in-jokes, but do allow for a certain degree of language and cultural change over the subsequent 4-5 centuries. And, in one case, we've accentuated one of them (hint: take a very close look at the Paps. Maybe rotate the map through 90 degrees anticlockwise. That's another old in-joke, but neat geographical feature, that we decided to enhance a little on this map).

One of the first things I checked for. More than just an in-joke though, but a truth of the Eiritha religion. Supposedly there's a cave near the Paps and if you perform just the right fertility ritual under just the right conditions, 9? months later a large herd of cattle comes thundering out of it.

bullsh*t!

Ooops sorry, wrong cave. 8)

Cattle gestation is about the same as human, which would make it 5 Gloranthan seasons (1 year minus Sacred Time) - I think the year length in Glorantha is deliberately set at roughly the human gestation period.

Thank you Mongoose!!! This is way cool!
It is exactly like the maps in "Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes"!

Now please tell me what is there at Tuurilakn and Enjilyaran, pleeease!

I'm running a campaign in Duke Raus' grantlands now, so I'm really interested in Enjilyaran!!!

:wink:

Its the same cartographer; the wonderful Colin Driver

Now please tell me what is there at Tuurilakn and Enjilyaran, pleeease!

Whatever you wish to locate there - we haven't detailed these places.

Hi,

Congratulations must go to Colin Driver, an old friend of Lawrence's and mine for the production of this wonderful map! Bravo!
