It's clear from everything I've heard Greg Stafford say that
Runes are a classification system. They are not universal across
Glorantha. The set we know is the Orlanthi set, and Solar peoples
have a variant set, as do the Kraloreli, Malkioni, and Doraddi.
In fact, if you are lucky enough to get a copy of "The Glorious
Reascent of Yelm" you will see a picture of a God's Wall mural
which shows pictures of about 100 Solar deities, each of which
can be used as a Rune to describe the sphere of influence of that
deity. It's a mistake to try to derive deep truths from the Runes
unless you are actually trying to figger out how people on Glorantha
tend to classify things.
