What do you want in Gloranthan Religion? Enlightenment? Power? Freedom? Peace?

Gloranthan Other Planes

We have already List of Other Magical Realms of Glorantha in HW, but it is still not enough to describe the connections and / or links among them. In D&D Sense, Gates and Bridges, or obscure Borders exist between them, or are piled up with Magical Terms. Of cource, other cultures sensed in other way even as other links and existence of them physically, but some Questers among many cultures (Especially, Arkat or Sheng Seleris both are famous for Unhonestness) or God Learners researched and systemized them in common term.

/Mandane Surface Glorantha: Ordinary People, Common Adventurers and Heros in
RQ or HW start from this Realm.

/Hero Plane: even Middle World People can contact with these Plane with
Strong Sufficient Physical Means as Snodal and Dormal, but many Minor Incarnate of God and Spirits: FREX, Orlanth lived in Sky World as Broken Ring, Wind World as Great Storm, Hell Wind (Zolan Zubar?) in Under World, etc...
Upper World: Many Angelic Host like Entities of Sky Elements or Malkioni, Eastern Some Holy Existence (in Human Term) live in Upper World. Outer World: Senderenven in Eastern Sramak or Luatha in Western Continent live as Immortal Entity and Connecte in Some Terms with High God Plane Underworld: Some Crossoverlinks Such as in Sky World in Water galaxy or Lodril in Earth Realm.
Hell: Some Portions of Mortal Spirit descent to this Realm as Dead Existence and can be salvaged by Some Measure (Light Bringer's Quest) in Ty Kora Tek Current. Immortals or Heros may not descent to this realm as their privilege unless they are hurted enough. Some eccentrics and Uzraces love this realm.

/Elemental Plane: piled up (Shaman's World)
 Gray World magically piles up with Mandane Surface. Once these realms are concected by Existence of Spike Mountain, but Eastern Vithelans see it linked as Southern Continental Source: they are also Source of Elemental Languages, and some linked to hero Plane as some Energy. Sky: Salamanders live

Storm: Sylphs live
Earth: Gnomes live
Water: Undines live

Darkness: Shades live

/Dream Realm Plane (Waking Magician's, link or similar to Elemental Plane.)
Avanapdur reign this realm and Wraiths inhabit this World, sometimes intervene to Physical mandane, and sometimes sign contract inhabitants. Waking Magicians wanted to come back Ancient Age as Ideal Circumsance and intrigued some plans (Tales #17, but Greg Stafford lowered their situation) Island Memb and Keets ha
d many devotee to this realm. And some connetion to Mystical Realm believed by Adherents.

/God Plane

Timetravel before Time Meaning was useful for blasphemous Heroquesters and God Learners Paradox appeared itself from this World, some people want to back this condition as ideal (Mostali, Dara Happan, Waking magician, etc...) and other people (like Orlanthi, Pamalti, Kralori) admits only proportional usage, some cultures believe God Time before Time without Mortality existed as Normal time Currency (Kralori, Dara Happans, Zzaburi), but other cultures may believe utterly different system of Cause and Effect. Some timetravellers can use same measurement in Historical Events (during ST Belintar or Hrestol) as Mirror Image of Ancient Cinema.

/High God Plane

Some Links both to Mystical Realms and God Plane, Vithelans believes linked to Northern continent
, Malkioni concept as Abstruct, Mystics concept as Temporary: both concepts may be used by Skeptic Godlearnism and backstabed GL Empire

/Mystical Realms: if you want to abandone mortal body and unify to the One.
This realm needs Some Condition of Soul and / or Mind for Opening Way to this World as Illumination, Enlightenment, etc...and they are only available to Minority Members in Secret Society.
Sendenyan Cycle (Red Moon Empire): linked to Red Moon Elemental Plane or Upper World Rufelza Surface and Northern Continent Empire of Red Moon (and Chaos?). Lune Elementals and Lunar Heros (Egi) live in some portion of this Realm: once this realm permitted Invasion of Sheng Seleris, maybe it is not inviolable sanctuary.
Blue Moon Realm?: (Broken Realm linked to Water?) in Ancient Day, maybe it links to Blue Moon Planet and Southern Artmali Empire Region, but God War almost destroyed this system. Blue Moon Plateau and Blue Streak are left as remnants. Selene Elementals lives.
Durapdur: Over Atrilith is enable Mystics to cancel Magical Effect as "Unnatural?" Power. Teaching of Mashnasan is Mainstream Mysticism in Eastern Continent Vithela, but other regions in Eastern Areas perhaps have popularized other Systems.

/Solace: This Realm is not believed Existence by all Logicians: Brithini,
Waertagi, Vadeli, Mostali are all skeptic and pessimistic to this Existence, and Only Faith Attitude as Bagavad Gita term only induces their Mockeries. Hrestoli concept of Inner Heart about Righteous Action and Godlearnish Blasphemy both existed in Same Circumstance. Hrestoli also believe Sorcery Logic coming from this Plane, and use them as righteous Magic in Glorantha. Vithelan believes this realm connection to Western World.

/Chaos Realm: Some Evil? Mystics believe this realm as Ideal and Condition
of Illumination admit their Existence in Central World as Natural. But most of devotees for this Realm are Monsters and Demonic Figures want only destruction and collapse, and justified their act using this realm as Primal and more natural System. Orlanthi, Trolls and God Learners see mandane Middle World as Bubble in Void Sea and Chaos always wanted to Invade their world, Fatalists always have reason to Crying For Ragnalok (Last War).

/Draconic Realm or Ouroboros: Dragonewt believes this realm as their natural
Evolution suited to Reaching of their Final Trasformation, Kralori believes this realm as some links to Mystical realms and some mind condition about World let them come into this realm. IMO, humanistic entanglement to Materialistic and Elementalistic World as Orlanthi or Dara Happan is alien to Dragonewtish Enlightenment, and want some more exceptional meanings for EWF and Kralori Citizens.

Difference between Theism and Logic: Specialized Elemental Worship IMO, this is Kralorelan Ideology?
Thalurzuni of Harmony of Elements: Dragonewt Style Antagonism to Elements is opposite idea to Kralori?

Henotheistic Malkionism Elemental
Darkness: Stygians (arkat), Carmanian (talor, carmanos) Water: Waertagi (Waertagi, Triolina)
Earth: Non-exist?
Sky: Carmanian, Some Lunar Malakinism
Storm: Aeolian (aeol), Some Fronelan (Valkyries?), Ralian
