Thanks for the replies to this message. I didn't make it
clear that I was specifically thinking of a description of the
rivers of Hell in Glorantha. Maybe I was wrong to think
I'd read one.
Christian accounts of the underworld don't fit all that well
into Orlanthi myth.
In Dante, souls on their way to Paradise drink from the waters
of Lethe and then of Eumnemonyse (sp?). The first makes them
forget their sins, the second ('Good remembrance') restores
their memory but without guilt or psychic scars.
Seems to me that combination is only appropriate to Malkioni ideas?
Andrew
