Um. . . I don't think the Compromise has anything to do with the
Scholastic concept of Free Will.
In Glorantha, violent rape can result in cosmological bad-things,
whether that is universal is questionable (I for one might disagree with
Sandy on this one - I think it's a Theyalan thing, otherwise how can the
Rokari crusades be true to their RW antecedents?). Amongst
Orlanth-influenced cultures (including Tarsh, Holay, etc), however, rape
does result in cosmological bad-things. So does kinslaying. Heck, the
combination of rape and kinslaying destroyed the Royal House of the
Vingkotlings. The Orlanth-influenced cultures associate these
cosmological bad-things with the Unholy Trio (Thed, Mallia, Ragnaglar)
or their followers.
