OK, what about created about the same time, but separately, ie in the same 'Big bang'? Something along the lines that the dragons were created from the soul of the Cosmic Dragon, the mountains of the world(s) from its bones etc.
Btw, 'navigating the Void between the worlds', is there a space around Glorantha which can be traversed to find other worlds or is it a totally self-contained universe? If the latter what about multiverses, dimensional gates. Our gaming groups most-of-the-time GM is really hot on a moorcock-esque multiverse, so there have been lot of planar hops in and out of Glorantha. Me I'm ambivalent about that kind of stuff for Glorantha. Has anyone else speculated on this?

Hmm, what about this. The forces responsible for the cataclysms took a look at Teshnos and thought 'naah, these guys are so lazy and philosophical that they won't notice if we mess up their lands, and that's no fun, so we leave them for now'. :-)

It did?
I haven't followed the British/American/Australian debate, but I suddenly remember a quote by someone on the lines of:
'British and Americans, two people divided by a common language'
I'm so tough:
