I just love the thought that some bunch of aldryami somewhere in Glorantha were performing some sort of Protect the Elf Forest ceremony, when Orlanth swoops in and smashes the forest with winds and lightning, causing the elves to quest to find a way to protect themselves from Orlanth's storms. Maybe they'll give power to a Sky and Light figure like Halamao, who'll beat up some other bunch of Orlanthi heroquesters. Who knows - except that there are always consequences to your deeds.
