To paraphrase something by Umberto Eco; and just IMO :
The Great Secret of the God Learners is that Everything is Secret.
and that's what happened to them : they became a geat big secret, and so did the heart of their creed.
And the Gift Bringers came and took them all into Solace, where they live in secret, well-ordered, RQ Sight-enabled bliss, and can change each others' mythologies as and when they please ...
i.e., they disappeared from Glorantha, and they turned into *us* ...
