Fascinating how square and blocky some of the stones in the 'wall' were along the European side. Quote Nochet: Queen of Cities | Nochet: Adventurer's Guide | Nochet: Great Library | Edge of Empire
Joerg Posted August 26, 2018 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

Skovari Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Seems a little "small" for a Glorantha true dragon! 😂 Quote

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 Nochet: Queen of Cities | Nochet: Adventurer's Guide | Nochet: Great Library | Edge of Empire

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 Nochet: Queen of Cities | Nochet: Adventurer's Guide | Nochet: Great Library | Edge of Empire
