1) There's this androgynous thing wondering around the place. Does that
exist in The Glorantha.

        Yes. Androgeus is a real creature. She has existed since the
Godtime and wanders about Glorantha. In a private conversation with
Greg, he said that in his opinion Androgeus only wandered through Dragon
Pass once during the Hero Wars (there is a 3-player scenario in which
Androgeus takes part). Most of Androgeus's important activities take
place in Fronela, which doesn't mean that's where he originated. It's
possible that she was trapped by the Ban, and only escaped recently when
it was lifted. Thus the world got to have a few centuries free from this
particular superhero.

2) There's mention, I can't quite remember where, of a Valkyrie. I think
it's the mother of one of the heroes. Is that in Glorantha now?

        Gunda the Guilty is the daughter of a Valkyrie. Of course
Valkyries are in Glorantha -- they're just female warrior angels,
typically of a storm cult. I don't believe Orlanth has valkyries, but I
bet Ygg does, and probably Valind, too (though his are doubtless
malign).

3) It says that the Lunars were basically unlucky when they chose to
build their Reaching Moon temple on top of the Brown Dragon. Was that
really all it was - bad luck?

        Freud says there are no accidents.

4) Where's the Golden Fleece?
        Kralorela.
