The God Learners (in one form or another) dominated over half of Glorantha at their peak. They certainly weren't a monolithic organization. The Empire of the Middle Sea was a true empire, composed of distinct states.

Maybe; I figure that exposure to the Kralorelan mysteries made them drop large parts of the monomyth, the same way the Six Legged Empire did when exposed to the Doraddi beliefs. Both probably continued much of the God Learner philosophy, but were no longer mainstream.

I doubt very much that the "freebooters" were exiled -- this is during a period when the Jrustelans are expanding everywhere. I think this means they were player characters, rather than official agents of a government.
