Griffin Mountain, because it's simply wonderful, or Sun County and the River of Cradles, because the setting supports newbies so well. (The River of Cradles flows to Pavis, but I'd find that a bit offputting as an "introduction" to Glorantha: the Adventurers' Pit-Stop next to the Composite Dungeon Lair... no, thanks!). Try running Gaumata's Vision early on in the players' careers... ;-)

Given ILH-1, I'd be tempted to pick a neat sounding part of the Imperial Heartlands that resonated with me and set the game there, stealing chrome from my favourite ancient-setting books and movies.

It seems a shame to introduce people to Glorantha through the well-established "loser" culture of the Sartarite Heortling barbarians, which Chronomancers assure us will be extinguished by the end of the Wane.
