I'm referring to "Gods and Goddesses of Glorantha" in Wyrm's Footprints
(pp. 34f - or, if you have it, Wyrm's Footnotes #5), where Grower and
Maker are dealt with in some detail.
Aldryami are the foremost remnants of the Growers in the world, most of
the other Grower people have disappeared.
Uleria is the Source of Life, the tilntae or love nymphs are her
children (or grandchildren, etc.), and some of them specialized. Of
these specialists, the dryads are more or less the tree specialized
nymphs, and founders for most of the aldryami.
