Tianlong Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The magnetism aspect is fascinating, but we don't need to inflict science on Glorantha overly much. For me, the apparent significance various parts of the statue is interesting to consider. www.sciencenews.org/article/ancient-sculptures-guatemala-magnetic-rocks-struck-lightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Magnetic Mountain used to be the main dwarf center in the west, roughly in Jrustela. It isn't quite clear to me whether the Curustus mountain chain is the stump of that mountain or the rubble of it imploding. There are of course magnetic minerals, like the material these statues are hewn from or Ferrite (Fe3O4, one of the heaviest minerals around) from the gold sands, but in a bronze-using society, the chances to trigger a magnetic reaction are rather low. But then, the Mostali Magnetic Mountain appeared to attract anything material, not just magnetized items.

svensson Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Greg and Jeff seem to bend science to make the magic work quite a lot. Take, for example, all of our various discussions on Rune metals etc. when we're asking 'is Gloranthan ur-metal really iron, or is it just Glorathan equivalent?' Insert long grog discussion /debate /argument here... The world works the way the ref says it does. Just so long as there is consistency, we all just roll with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
