This is what Volume 1 of Races of Glorantha from Mongoose has to say about the Blue Moon Plateau:

"The Blue Moon Plateau is situated in far north of central Genertela, it is known as Tagor Mahaquata to the Dara Happans who associated it with the bat goddess who helped slay Murharzarm. The trolls call the place Quatanara Lykor. The plateau is a mystic place formed from the remnants of Blue Moon Goddess who fell to the surface during the Darkness. There are many stories as to the nature of that goddess but the trolls know it is Quatanara the bat winged monster that rose from the ruins of Mernita when Boztakang was besieged by the chaos army of Urkatol and summoned unto himself the feeble life of a dying goddess to bring him aid. The goddess came to life and rescued him and the two mated in secret but then she fell to earth where the trolls found her and nurtured her remains. The Uz of the Plateau were their descendants and their goddess has aided them ever since, when others did not come. In truth the goddess beneath the Blue Moon Plateau is both and neither, thus is the nature of Lunar magic."

I edited out the really obvious typos but I still like the Blue Mood Goddess.
