What struck me the other day thinking about Glorantha, is that how close is
it to middle/last-middle age earth? For example, sewage and cleanliness
used to be a large problem in Europe (and still in in many places in the
world where large numbers of people get together). How about in the larger
populations of Genertela - even Boldhome or Jonstown are going to have a lot
if its like earth.
My reason for thinking it is what sort of ambiance do we get walking into a Sartarite city? In Europe one of the first things we moderns dudes would notice is the stench! In Glorantha, do having cults of healing and cults of disease mean that, where healing is dominant, there is sanitation? Do healers connect sanitation and disease? *Is* there any connection in Glorantha between the two? Are there 'germs' or are people visited by a minor but pesky disease spirit for a while?
Any thoughts on the state of toilets and trash? Robert
