Yow, I didn't realise it was so full on...the Dragon eating the proto-Temple has to be one of the most under-described events in Glorantha. I'd heard stories about it years ago (1986), but in the last 6 months more and more has been actually written about it that gives the event scope and detail. Everytime I read about it it gets bigger and better and more impressive...
