Daka Fal is NOT Grandpa Mortal. He has changed.
Horny Man might be a slip. However, the Great Spirit surely would have been Glorantha herself?

Cold, Warmth, Light, Shadow are secondary runes. And Annilla was only the second Lunar deity in the sky, there was a daughter of Yelm before, according to Emperor Yelmgatha's star-seers.
BTW: anyone out there want to discuss The Dara Happan Book of Emperors (DHBE)? I'm just collecting notes.

Looks great! Is it playtested? If not, who will?

Not really. Maybe each individual magician in the units has, but the unit as a collected entity (the wyter?) has not.

Possibly true. Yet, someone is sure to try, and that's what all these cataclysms are for. Would be fun.
