This may be old hat to the experts but I've not been able to find a=20
definitive answer:
Where in Glorantha is the Red Moon visible?
I understand that within the Empire she is permanently in her full aspect=20
and that
around the borders (much of Dragon Pass, Prax, Holy country?) displays=20
phases.
However, I've also read (possibly in non-official texts) about the Red Moon
appearing to be close to the horizon (whatever THAT means on a bowl-shaped
world) in the borders. Does this mean high mountains can get in the way?=20
For example is the Red Moon visible in Ralios...
all the time?
occaisionally peeking through the Western Rockwoods?
or never?
If yes to Ralios what about Pamaltela and/or Kralorela? If the moon is=20
visible everywhere
I would expect there to be (probably minor) red moon cults everywhere. In=20=
a=20
world like
Glorantha an historical event of the significance of a new moon appearing=20
would surely
be seen as significant and someone would seek to turn it into a religious=20
power base.
Red moon secret societies among the tribes of the Pamaltelan plains?
A final thought - would not the shadow of The Block be a doubly dangerous=20
place for
Lunars. Not only is it teeming with hostile Storm Bulls but it could be=20
said to be
permanently in the dark of the moon.
