In
Gloranthan mythology, the Chief of the
Gloranthan Storm Gods. His
Runes are
Motion,
Air (twice, he is the heir to Air via
Umath), and
Mastery.
Orlanth's stories are many: most important of his myths are the time he killed
Yelm, the Sun God, and when he and his
Lightbringer companions thereafter rescued Yelm from
Hell. No
God Time events are as interwoven into the
mythology and
metaphysics of
Glorantha as these two stories.
