Antonio, you asked us several questions that was the old topic which once
(several times?) raged this digest.
I don't think I can easily find my answers. But I can say you can contribute
this area if you want to do so.

I and Jerome Blondel once had a plan (desire?) to make a comprehensive note of the continent (as well as Fonrit) and Peter's note for Fanjosi might come to the part of it, but after that, we stopped that process and proceeding. One reason is Hero Quest's new Animism Rule isn't revealed publicly yet.

Garangordos might say he rediscovered old gods, or induced new ones, who knows? Please read Enclosure #2, Glorantha Introduction to HW, or Revealed Mythologies. And old posts of Peter and Jerome Blondel could be found in Bryan Kondalski's Archive or Graham's search. They might have answers about it....But they might not reach consensus again. See also David Dunham's site as the editor of Enclosure #2 and the Umathela expert.

Or new spirits (as Jakareel?), or sorcerous saints related to Blue Moonies. I hesitate to answer about it.

It is a city pantheon in Missing Land, Yngortu, native names of the two grim city gods are Orjethulut and Hanjethulut. (If you can pronounce adequetly without biting your own tongue.)

Famous centers are Nikosdros of Umathela as a center of Sedalpism and
Ebbeshal of Fonrit as a center of Ebbeshites. Former is a sort of pacifist
creed, Latter is Hedonist Cult. If Nick Brooke's site and unofficial RMM
books told true, some of Rokari might have several trading post in
Pamaltela.
