You keep saying that, and I just still don't get it. The rest of what we hear about Glorantha seems to say that rituals and mythologies shape the reality of Glorantha and if you can get into the myth and change it, you change reality. It's what experimental heroquesters do. It's what the Lunars are doing. It's what the God Learners were doing. It's what everyone who is anyone of any consequence in Glorantha is doing.
The Gloranthan cultures are the clay that heros play with to make things happen. In the reality of the game, 'history' and 'culture' are just so much dross for the giants of the world to toss into the fire as they fight each other.
Sucks to be a normal person, yes, but that's what it seems like to me.
