That pithily and succinctly sums almost everything Gloranthan up. The end.
(Of course my take on the size of Glorantha and the sky dome is as follows)
The sky dome is about 9ft high and Glorantha is 210mm by 297mm and is flat,
apart from a crease in the world in the bottom left hand corner with the
red moon being a lightbulb about 7th up and all the people are REALLY,
REALLY small.)
All hail the preaching loon (who has played in good D&D campagins)
