Glama

Glama is a term with no single, widely accepted definition in real-world references. This article treats glama as a fictional or speculative concept used in literature, gaming, and online culture to explore how a name can convey setting, status, or style.

In science fiction and fantasy works, Glama is often used as a proper name for a place or realm. In some narratives it denotes a planet with luminous skies and glasslike cities; in others, a city of artisans and diplomats renowned for fashion and exchange.

In tabletop role-playing games and video games, Glama may refer to a faction, guild, or polity. It is commonly imagined as a commerce-driven power or a cultural hub that players visit to trade, negotiate, or engage in intrigue.

Online communities occasionally use Glama as a playful portmanteau of glamour with other motifs, or as a brand-like name for fictional products and events within a game world.

Etymology and usage: Glama appears to be a constructed neologism rather than a word with historical roots in a natural language. Its meaning is defined by the fictional context in which it appears.
