Ah, is this one of the changes for new Glorantha? The writeup of the Earth
Goddesses in Wyrms Footnotes/Wyrms Footprints says that Maran Gor traded her
mating for death and Babeester Gor is no virgin and has husbands and lovers,
with chidren as well (Wyrms Footprints p 52). It would be a shame if this as
changed.
