Glorantha is a fantasy world created by Greg Stafford. It was first introduced in the board game White Bear and Red Moon (1975) by Chaosium and then in a number of other board, roleplaying and computer games, including RuneQuest and HeroQuest, as well as several works of fiction and the computer strategy game King of Dragon Pass. The Gloranthan world is characterised by its complex use of mythology, heavily influenced by the universalist approaches of Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade, its sword and sorcery ethos, its long and distinctive history as a setting for role-playing games, its community development and expansion, and its relative lack of Tolkienesque influence, which is uncommon among early American fantasy role-playing games.

  • Glorantha es el mundo de fantasía creado por Greg Stafford, una ambientación usada con frecuencia para varios juegos de tablero y de rol creados por él mismo, incluyendo , RuneQuest,​ Hero Wars​ y HeroQuest.​ El mundo de Glorantha está caracterizado por su compleja manera de abordar la mitología, una manera muy influida por los planteamientos universalistas de Joseph Campbell y Mircea Eliade, por su ethos howardiano, sus largas y detalladas historias descritas para juegos de rol de mesa, su desarrollo y expansión colectivos y sobre todo por su inusual carencia en Estados Unidos de las influencias tolkienianas.

  • Glorantha è l'ambientazione fantasy sviluppata originariamente da Greg Stafford. Fu inizialmente usata come sfondo per il wargame White Bear and Red Moon (1975) della Chaosium e successivamente come ambientazione per diversi giochi di ruolo, wargame, videogiochi e racconti. Questi includono i giochi di ruolo RuneQuest (1978), (2000) e HeroQuest (1989) e il videogioco strategico . L'ambientazione è caratterizzata dal suo complesso approccio alla mitologia, pesantemente influenzato dal lavoro di Joseph Campbell e Mircea Eliade, il suo codice etico howardiano e la sua lunga e distintiva storia come ambientazione per i giochi di ruolo e la sua relativa mancanza di influenze dai lavori tolkeniani.

  • Glorantha är en fiktiv fantasyvärld skapad av . Stafford började sitt skapande 1966 som ett rent tankeexperiment om hur myter och legender skapas, sprids vidare och till slut få ett eget liv. När sedan Stafford i början av 70-talet var med och startade bräd- och rollspelsföretaget Chaosium Inc. så användes hans värld Glorantha som tema och bakgrund i flera av företagets spel, varav det första var brädspelet White Bear and Red Moon. Spelet som gjorde världen känd var dock rollspelet RuneQuest som när det släpptes 1978 använde Glorantha som spelvärld. (sv)
