Darkness and Shadow are infinitely extensible, just as light and fire
are. If I throw a lighted candle into a hay bale, in mere seconds the
hay bale will be engulfed in raging flames. If I roll a rock over the
entrance to a cave, in mere seconds the cave will be filled to the brim
with inkyest darkness. What's the problem?
Is the heat of the candle thinned out and spread over the volume of the
burning hay bale into a pale warmth? Where does all that fire come from?
It's the same question and it has the same answer - in Glorantha anyway.
