I've got no problems with any of the ideas in these short synopses. Interestingly a piece I've written on Dangk and Hrelar Amali for Second Age shares some similarities.
The God Learners are habitual plunderers of myth and arch manipulators for their own ends. That they quite often don't know what it is they're mything with (sic) is all part of the intrigue. Note the Goddess Switch.
And to be honest, Glorantha, both 2nd and 3rd age, needs campaigns like this. The metaplot's of little real relevance (and is no more contentious than 'Orlanth is Dead'): its the interactions, roleplaying, and chance to either save myths or meddle with them that's the real attraction.
I'm looking forward to working on these scenarios. My mind's already chugging through the possibilities.
