You can get good
background and history information from the Glorantha web site under the headings Common Knowledge and
History of Balazar.
I have a timeline for the region with events that only occured
in my Glorantha on this site.
The land of Balazar is a wild, mostly untamed land to the northwest
of Dragons Pass where the residents live a life that (they believe) would be recognized by
their oldest ancestors. Most of the Balazarings live in small social units called hearths
that are grouped together into clans which are parts of larger clans that are ostensibly
allied with one of three citadels. More "advanced" Balazarings live in one of
three neolithic Citadels built by the regions eponymous ancestor, Balazar.
For the most part events in the region happened pretty much as
described in GM up to the 11th century. When Balazar unified the clans in the
1080's more conservative elements among the clans refused to adopt the ways of this
foreigner. Balazar helped these clans to settle in the Elder Wilds, primarily in the area
just to the north of the Elf Sea. These clans retained the name of Votanki and see
themselves as the true heirs of Votank. Due to their small numbers they still must
maintain some connections to the Balazaring clans to prevent too much inbreeding. The
major unusual activity occupying the Balazarings these days are the The Boar Wars.
