AndreJarosch 337 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (edited) John E. Boyles "Queens Heir" and "Ravens Blood" novels: The first one was actually written as set in Glorantha, but was later rewritten as taking place in the Hittites area (+ Atlantis etc.), the second one follows the story of the first one (as far as i know there was no gloranthan version of the second book): https://www.amazon.de/Queens-Heir-Fantasy-Hittites-Children-ebook/dp/B01GD9GHGM/ref=sr_1_7?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=john+e+boyle&qid=1613287716&sr=8-7 https://www.amazon.de/Ravens-Blood-Adventure-Descendants-Atlantis-ebook/dp/B07MJP8PV8/ref=pd_sim_1?pd_rd_w=ONCFz&pf_rd_p=4c36ee45-3199-45ee-b94f-2cfef399364c&pf_rd_r=ZNSVFB01RPWZPVS1QQW6&pd_rd_r=045e596d-42da-4a2c-a960-e9d80d707dc7&pd_rd_wg=LUDlv&pd_rd_i=B07MJP8PV8&psc=1 Edited February 15 by AndreJarosch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hijabg 15 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) There is that new viking survival game, Valheim, that is very evocative of Glorantha. It has runes, mythic beasts, standing stones altars on which you can offer sacrifice, a titanic branch spanning the whole sky (from an even larger tree, Yggdrasil), and to add fun to this already winning recipe you can even play in co-op with up to 10 friends. It's on Steam if you want to know more about it. Best game I have played in a long time. Edited February 23 by Hijabg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JanPospisil 201 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 (edited) I think I've recommended it before: Warriors of the Rainbow (2011) - Especially the longer 4 hour version. (it's really two movies) It's a fascinating immersion into a thoroughly foreign feeling culture, with unflinching portrayal of the brutality that goes with it. Also the fact the one side are tattooed headhunters who revere their ancestors, vs the other being a more "advanced" invading empire, that's pretty Gloranthan. (also don't be fooled by the marketing that's trying to present it as some kind of Taiwanese Braveheart. They had to way downplay the violence and make the Sediq seem like "good guys", while the film itself does not whitewash anything.)

aumshantih 72 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 For inspiration for Kralorela and Vithela, I highly recommend this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havoc_in_Heaven Really, "Journey to the West" could be a fantastic Gloranthan resource. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skulldixon 20 Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM (edited) The series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver. More european stone age than bronze, but still enjoyable. Stephen Lawhead's Song of Albion series was great when i first read it back in early 2001.

A boy and his wolf have adventurers in the Mesolithic, probably Young Adult without all the gooey love triangles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
