Where Did the glorantha.com Store and Information Move?

Updated

The glorantha.com store has moved to Chaosium, and the informational content formerly hosted on glorantha.com is now at The Well of Daliath. The site's home page states that Glorantha "has returned home to Chaosium" and directs visitors to those two destinations for shopping and reference material respectively.

What changed on glorantha.com

The site no longer operates as the primary store or information hub it once was. Its home page now functions mainly as a redirect notice, pointing to:

  • Chaosium — the new home of the Glorantha store
  • The Well of Daliath — the new location for information formerly published on glorantha.com

If you arrived at glorantha.com looking to buy a product or read setting material, use those destinations instead of searching the old site.

What the site still covers

The home page retains a short overview of the setting itself, which is useful if you are new to Glorantha or want a quick orientation before moving on.

Cosmology

Glorantha is described as a mythical world on the "Other Side" of consciousness, first discovered by Greg Stafford over forty years ago. Its structure:

  • A cube of earth roughly 5,000 miles wide, surrounded by the limitless Sramak's River
  • A Sky Dome above, where stars and planets move each night
  • The Sun emerging from the Gates of Dawn, crossing the Sky Dome, passing through the Underworld at night, and returning at the Gates of Dawn
  • An Inner World of mortals shaped as a huge cube of earth floating in an endless sea

The two continents

Continent Position Climate Size
Genertela Northern Largely temperate; winds west to east, often from the north in Dark Season 3,125 miles long, 1,100 miles wide
Pamaltela Southern Mostly tropical; winds east to west, occasionally from the hot south 4,200 miles long, 2,000 miles wide

Genertela contains the well-known settings of Dragon Pass, the Holy Country, the Lunar Empire, and Prax. The page notes that Pamaltela's seasons are not simply reversed from Genertela's despite the Sun's varying distance.

Games set in Glorantha

The page names Dragon Pass, RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and King of Dragon Pass as games that have explored the world.

Practical next steps

  1. To buy books or games: go to Chaosium's store rather than glorantha.com.
  2. To read setting lore: use The Well of Daliath, described on the page as "a resource for exploring Greg Stafford's Glorantha."
  3. For a quick primer: the cosmology and continent summaries above are enough to orient yourself before diving into either destination.

The page does not list prices, product availability, or account requirements for either destination, so check each site directly for current details.
