Samsara. Eternal Part of Soul routinely reincarnate their own body, IMO
Peter Metcalph caltivated view of Chal Tradition linked to Liturgy, Human
always start from Child, then Adolescence, next Adult, finally Elder. Cosmic
Cycle may also have similar condition. But Dragons don't know Senility or
Same Type of Spiritual Awaking or Resignation. (In Buddhism, negative
"Resignation" simply means Liberation, and Love means attach to "Garden of
Temptation".similar to Pessimistic Concept of Christian Augustinus or Calvin
Protestant
Doctrinism in Will of One.)
They only know Death.

Yes, in some sense.

I eagerly want it too in another sense.
I hate my Heros dying in Senility in Computer Game "King of Dragon Pass",
relatively many
immortals without senility have existed in Glorantha (as Hofstaring
Treeleaper) in non siritual body of Wyter, I think immortality is very
important purpose of RW Legendary Heros. Very varied form of Immortality
exist in Glorantha...
I feel much less magical circumstances for sacrificed to Game Balance or
other objects. Monotheist's Sensibility to Immortality can be alien to a
Polytheist....
God Learners distriction: I know "Time" was made from Cosmic Compromise, and all Events of Mystical Age, so to speak, simultaneously occured. But some of culture which prefer writing Timeline Table such as RW Chinese and Greek. (Dara Happan and Malkioni, Kralorelan?) IMO they like "magically" arranging Mystical Timeline in the form of Worldwide Timeline in Historical Time Stream. GLs can use it for gaining power base structure.
Green Age: Starting with Aether ascended from Eastern Horizon (See Mythos Basko of Troll Gods & Drastic Resolution: Chaos, Column Three Rivals against Yelm Enthronement)
(Sky Color is White (IMO))
Golden Age: Green Age Ending with Aether birthed Three Sons, Yelm started Golden Age. Enevar killed Antigods with Power of Govmeranen.
(Sky Color is Yellow (Golden))
Storm Age: Starting with Orlanth killed Yelm. Oorsu Sara banished Govemeranen from Three Worlds. (Herspur (Sekever?) let Black Sun rise?)
(Sky Color is Blue)
(During this Age, Malkion wedded with a Triolini, Weatag came from that
pair?)
(Orlanth started Lightbringer's Quest shortly after he first met Chaos Army
of Wakboth from North: King of Sartar & Map of Uz Lore.)
Great Darkness: Starting with Spike explosion. Last Star Shargash set to
Western Horizon.
(Herespur dropped down City Churanpur from Heaven?)
(War between Vadeli and Brithini, Ice Age)
(Sky Color is Black)
Grey (Silver) Age: Starting with I fought We won. Only Old One won. Zzabur
cast Great Spell to Valind Gracier. Malkion martyred. Unity Battle & Orlanth
apologised to Yelm in Underworld.)
(Mashunasan banished Avanapdur to Dream World?)
(Sky Color is Grey?(IMO))
Dawn Age: 0ST, Antirius (or Kargzant?) divided Day and Night, Hrestol
received Vision of Malkion.
(Orlanth returned to Middle World. End of LBQ.)
All IMO.

Very Similarity in Pronunciation as GlorOranor and Glorantha (Greggy
technic, maybe I am too skeptical to conceive "Belintar" Business... )
Secret Intriguity of Gbaji! (orlanthi shout) I can see impossibility or at
least difficulty to
identification of Godlearnish Unified Mythology with Zzabur's New Logical
Sets in Anaxial Roster Animal's and Others. I maybe cannot count identify
Herespur to Wakboth the Devil, Vovisibor to Goapgod, etc.....
>* Oorsu Sara is destroyed and gone.
Orlanth changed himself from Outlaw, then King, next Lightbringer, finally
Friend of Yelm.
>* Orlanth has a place in Vithelan myth as the antigod Serakaru
But Serakaru don't have important influence in Eastern Mythology, don't have
complicated characteristic as Orlanth. If we can count limited number roles
in Actors and Actresses in Divine Comedy, some Key Persons used their Main
Roles from Minors as Orlanth stole some Roles from Ernalda and Earth
Goddesses...
