I must be missing something - what is particularly visible and
constant about the spring equinox? I presume it is something special
about Glorantha.
I can understand the solstices - but the equinoxes are far less
visible in the real world; e.g. in Iceland the obvious candidate would
be "fyrsti sumardaginn" [first day of summer - about a month after the
equinox]. Though I guess Glorantha does not have such high latitudes
(and so the day length is not altering quite so quickly about the
equinox).
Cheers,
