"And here is the difference between "popular Glorantha" and "mythic Glorantha" that got Jane so pissed off. Needing a "socially acceptable outlet for women warriors" is a game construct. Folk want to play Xena with red hair."
Can I suggest an alternative name for "mythic Glorantha?" Complete cock seems appropriate. Admittedly I wouldn't have thought that cock's very popular in saphic, sorry, mythic Glorantha.
All this rubbish about Kallyr being straight is a red herring (or tuna, to keep the metaphors going). It was obviously a marriage of convenience. It's like Prince Edward, obviously bent but no one's daring to say it.
Here's to "Argrath Rugmuncher," Hail Harshax!
It explains Rigsdal's role in mythology as well. He's the dogging (alynxing in Sartar) voyeur out at night trying to catch the Vingan's nocturnal activities. Taking Yinkin for a walk is just a euphemism.
Cheers,
