There are lots of fun theories and stories about this one. But there is
also a tiny bit of current, definitive, fact. HW Glorantha book, p157.
"... has travelled into the Sky World, from whence she gained a star
crystal that is imbedded into her skull now."
And there's a picture of her.
In terms of cultic links, Kallyr is documented as being a Vingan, she's
documented as taking the Orlanth Thunderous slot on the Sartar High
Council, and she's definitely got some sort of relationship with Polaris
(though not necessarily with his cult!).
In my own opinion she has Yelornan friends, and that's (indirectly) how
she got to meet Polaris. But there is no official evidence for a Yelornan
link that I'm aware of.
Should it help add colour to anyone's Glorantha, you might like to
borrow an idea from my game (it's 1598, and she's about 16). Her clan
the White Quartz, like all clans, have a distinctive clan marking. In their
case, a small piece of the White Quartz that gives them their name is
embedded under the skin of the forehead, and acts as the focus for the
new adult's first spell. By 1603, Kallyr is the only surviving member of
the clan: by 1613 everyone's forgotten what their clan marking was.
And in any case, it's been replaced by a rather fancier job from the Sky
Realm. I'm just throwing it in as a bit of fore-shadowing and fun.
