Just came across a reference that I think should have some relevance to Glorantha. It seems in ancient china some towns were layed out in shapes that resembled animals or symbolic patterns when viewed from above.
Tsuen-Chen Fu was built in the shape of a carp, Wung-Chun was laid out in the form of a fish net. Others towns resembled snakes, stars, sunbursts and dragons. It seems some Gloranthan town/cities would follow this same idea. This is probably especially true with Holy cities/towns and runic designs. My question is where on Glorantha are these likely to be most prevalent? The pantheon rich central Genertela? Or does the runic designs give power to strange rituals of sorcerers in the far west and east?
