In the fictional gaming world of
RuneQuest, the northern continent of
Glorantha 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 inhabitants are humans (of two major, eastern and western, and various minor racial types), aldryami (elves), mostali (dwarfs), uz (trolls) and less populous races such as durulz ("wereducks", think of Donald, Daffy or Howard) and dragonewts.
The major geographical and cultural regions are:
- Valind's Glacier
- Fronela
- Peloria
- Pent and North Pent
- Chern Durel, the Kingdom of Ignorance
- Kralorela
- Verenela
- Genert's Wastes and Prax
- Maniria
- Ralios
- Seshnela
