Personally, I bought RQ3 when it came out, having never heard of Glorantha. The "Glorantha Book" that came with RQ3 was not the finest of Gloranthan products and didn't interest me at all.

My first RQ3 campaign took place in a fantasy world of my own devising. The second was on Fantasy Earth.

It wasn't until someone loaned me a copy of _Pavis_ that I became interested in Glorantha.

How in the world can we surface dwellers know that? For all we know many thousands of them.
