Try Book V of the RQ3 rulesbook. There's also a shortform in Gods of Glorantha. A Dendara cult-writeup is also there but apparently it is no longer accurate.

His rune spells are and remain one-use. His spirit magic doesn't change unless he takes a geas to do so (and he will usually get a gift in return).

It is confusing. It is stated in the RQ Companion that he crossed over into the Arrolian Territories. OTOH the Genertela Book says that he crossed over the Mislari Mountains into Dragon Pass while still a mere mercenary captain over a century ago. However he has very little impact on the history there according to the CHDP (who could be snubbing him).

The period between the Great Darkness and the Dawn. Known as the Silver Age to the Orlanthi. Marked by Heroes such as Jenarong, Waha, Heort and Lendarsh.
