Genertela
|
|
In Greg Stafford's fictional world of Glorantha, the northern continent of Genertela is divided into a couple of distinct regions by three great mountain ranges:
- The Rockwood Mountains and their western extension, the Nidan Mountains, part western and central Genertela into a northern and a southern half.
- The Mislari and Skyreach Mountains separate the southwest from the central south and meet the Rockwoods in the Dragon Pass region of Maniria.
- The Shanshan Mountains in the east separate the lands of Kralorela and Verenela from the steppes in eastern central Genertela.
The climate ranges from arctic (Fronela and Valind's Glacier in the northwest) to subtropical (Verenela in the southeast).
The primary inhabitants are humans (of various racial types), as well as aldryami (elves), mostali (dwarfs), uz (trolls) and less populous races such as durulz (creatures not unlike Donald Duck) and dragonewts.
The major geographical regions, grouped by their predominant religious forms, are:
THE WEST - MEDIAEVAL MONOTHEISM
- Fronela
- Seshnela
- Ralios
THE CENTRE - CLASSICAL POLYTHEISM
- Peloria (inc. the Lunar Empire)
- Maniria (inc. Dragon Pass)
THE WASTELANDS - NOMADIC SHAMANISM
- Prax
- Pent
THE EAST - ORIENTAL MYSTICISM
- Kralorela
- Verenela
