>From KOS, page 88 (!) (The Gods agreed) "that they would not actively
intervene in each other's realms except in those ways which they had already done. They would not individually or consciously alter the world.
They would not even turn their awareness to it, unless called upon to do so."
This (Gloranthan) source suggests that Gloranthans have no trouble (or
at keast some Gloranthans have no trouble!) seeing the Gods as essentially
passive. And that they can't even watch TV about Glorantha! It still
leaves open the question of how they can react once their awareness is
"called upon." "Gaumata's Vision" suggests that they can pass messages
from one worshipper to another, as does "Rabbit Hat farm." In our gaming,
we only allow the Gods to respond to requests from worshippers, and limit
their information to that received from worshippers. But we wouldn't allow
those Cacodemon Ogres to get divine magic unless they were illuminates. On
the other hand, they COULD be initiates without illumination: the Gods
don't check on them as closely as they do those permanently tied to them
by Rune status. So in the bad-tempered debate that has flourished on this subject, we come out somewhere in the middle.
