Introduction
This site contains fan generated information about the Whitewall setting in 
Glorantha. In March 2004, we started collaborating on the ongoing Yahoo groups Whitewall list and collecting the information at the original WhiteWallWiki. In January 2005, we moved that wiki to here due to problems with WikiSpam. Please feel free to use the information gathered here in your own games or stories. If you do use the information please consider contributing any changes or enhancements back here.
If you're a regular visitor, see RecentChanges for the latest major page additions and changes. RecentEdits gives more details of the minor changes.
If you wish to contribute or just want to record a question that might lead us to enhancing the setting in the direction that you are interested in then please read the Writers Introduction. If you are interested in the technology used by this site then please see Technical Matters.

Included from WabiSabi
Since wabi-sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic system, it is difficult to explain precisely in western terms. According to Leonard Koren, wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of what we think of as traditional Japanese beauty and it "occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West."
"Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
"It is the beauty of things modest and humble.
"It is the beauty of things unconventional."
(quoted from "WABI-SABI: FOR ARTISTS,DESIGNERS, POETS & PHILOSOPHERS," 1994, Leonard Koren)
The concepts of wabi-sabi correlate with the concepts of Zen Buddhism, as the first Japanese involved with wabi-sabi were tea masters, priests, and monks who practiced Zen. Zen Buddhism originated in India, traveled to China in the 6th century, and was first introduced in Japan around the 12th century. Zen emphasizes "direct, intuitive insight into transcendental truth beyond all intellectual conception." At the core of wabi- sabi is the importance of transcending ways of looking and thinking about things/existence.
- All things are impermanent
- All things are imperfect
- All things are incomplete
(also taken from WABI-SABI: FOR ARTISTS,DESIGNERS, POETS & PHILOSOPHERS, 1994, Leonard Koren):
Material characteristics of wabi-sabi:
- suggestion of natural process
- irregular
- intimate
- unpretentious
- earthy
- simple
<John>
- As Leonard Cohen (one-time Zen monk) puts it
- Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There's a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
- 'Anthem'.
Wabi-sabi!
