Definitely Pavis/Big Rubble and also Prax. There is so much material on Pavis/Big Rubble that it is the best-defined area in Glorantha. It is also exciting, mysterious, dangerous, interesting, familiar and unfamiliar. There are Elder Races and Chaos there as well as different types of humans. Prax surrounds it and there are so many opportunites there that you need never leave.
