I propose that Pamaltela could have the Marsupial Lion prowling its forests.. An ambush predator with " its 'bite strength' finds that Thylacoleo had the most powerful bite of any mammalian predator, living or extinct, and that it could have taken prey much larger than itself (such as subadult Diprotodon)."  (https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/thylacoleo-carnifex/)

So its an ambush predator that lives it trees and falls on you to bite your head off... yes i give you the Gloranthan Drop Bear! 

there is even a new horror film for inspiration....

The historical fiction author, Ian Ross, has an interesting article on maps from Rome.  This could be a good foundation for a Lunar approach to mapping.

The most important thing about Gloranthan Cartographers? No arguments about projection systems or calculating for Earth Curvature distances!

Organised armies are a main impetus for maps too.
