Sir_Godspeed Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 A lot of Glorantha is more Hellenic-ish/Classical Antiquity than Bronze Age, so this seems perfectly applicable for Glorantha, imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Helsdon Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I have been attempting to draw ships of the Gloranthan West (Page 44): The merchant ships are in your link are fine for Glorantha.

soltakss Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I normally use a version of the ship used in Tim Severin's The Jason Voyage and The Ulysses Voyage. Sometimes, I use a slightly smaller version. For me, they are the perfect size for Gloranthan ships. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Joerg Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 For initial data on the ships reconstructed, visit https://www.ostia-foundation.org/ostia-and-the-harbour-of-claudius-part-2/ I would love to see more boats from the neolithicum or the actual Bronze Age in Gloranthan art - like the double beams of the Hjortspring boat which resembles the rock-drawings of the Megalith-builders of the Atlantic in the same way that the Nydam boat (contemporary to the boats above) resembles Viking ships and Hanseatic cogs. The merhant vessel differs only little from any Baltic Sea vessels after the Hjortspring Boat in the finished shape.
