Glorantha IttHW mentions an order of architect-sorcerers in Loskalm, and
I somewhat expanded on them for Sorcerer Knights, providing two
grimoires (of which the more relevant one here is The Book of Stone and
Glass). So they certainly exist somewhere, and sufficiently determined
Lunars might be able to get their mitts on the grimoires. But I agree
that they wouldn't be common - even the Loskalmi ones don't generally
work in the arse-end of nowhere, but on construction and renovation of
palaces and other key civic buildings. In the Lunar Empire, any such
specialist cults are, IMO, more likely to be theist: one thinks of
Hwarin Dalthippa and Mohenjar as possible candidates.
