jajagappa Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Might be the site where the Brown Dragon rose, or more likely an older site in the Red Dragon Vale or Ormsland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating how square and blocky some of the stones in the 'wall' were along the European side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joerg Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Apart from the perspective in the last image I was rather thinking of the Dragonspine hills or similar draconic carcasses left lying around in Gloranthan geography, maybe the Lead Hills blocking the path of the Creekstream River. Another site with similar features might be the Crater in the Lunar Empire, though a lot higher. Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skovari Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Seems a little "small" for a Glorantha true dragon! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorantha Sourcebook p. 40 notes the Brown Dragon left "a crack in the earth which stretched for 16 kilometers", so yes a bit shorter, but still reasonable for a true dragon. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skovari Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I was more looking at the width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spreads as you walk along. Or could just be how the earth resettled after a dragonrise, or perhaps after it buried itself again. But definitely the only RW landscape I've seen where I had the feeling that 'this could be a dragonrise'. Could be a good example for a dream dragon rise too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
