A Geographical Index to Glorantha

There is an incredible wealth of detail about Glorantha. Much of it is scattered among different books and magazines. This page is an attempt to gather some of it so that a GM or player interested in learning more about, say, Umathela, will know to look in Elder Secrets.

I'll include some links to online information, but this is primarily intended to be a guide to information that appeared in print.
