One of the joys and problems of Glorantha is that this mythic realm is 'True' in a way that it isn't for most of us in reality. Also, the boundary between time and pre-time is blurred and some things that occurred 'pre-time' also occurred in time (indeed in the nature of things events drift from time to 'pre_time'). The Dara Happans have a longer recorded history, so more things that occurred 'pre-time' for others can be equated to events that occurred within time to them.
Genealogies that go back into 'pre-time' are extremely common in RW sources (look at the number of medieaval scandinavian genealogies starting with the gods or various welsh princes' descent from Brutus). The habit of inserting convenient people/beings into your family tree or merely stretching it to be more interesting is extremely ancient. It is a poor chieftain whose great-great-great-...... grandfather wasn't closely related to Orlanth. It is fortunate that the Godi are so good at tracing these links.
