Very surprising. I assumed the name came from Warera, the Ludoch Triolini
wife of Aerlit and mother of Malkion (thus all humanity). Not one of the
published or unpublished sources I've seen ever spelled her name "Werera".
There's only one RQ supplement that refers to "Warerans", frequently: the
Glorantha boxed set. Where it is always spelled "Wareran". The only place
I've ever seen "Wereran" is on yesterday's RQ Daily, in your post.
Odd.

Re: Pole Star
I like to imagine a Polaris-worshipping general having Star-worshipping
captains under him. Like his deity, he stands in the centre and directs.
They move, obedient to his command and design. This way, "Initiates" of
Polaris would in fact worship other stars under his command (that's the
ordinary officers). The Rune Lords (Generals) would be the true Polaris
worshippers.
I may be playing one this weekend, so I'll let you know what happens.
