> Advisor doesn't say subdue to me. This is the Golden Age - a time of wonder, everyone wants to be in Genert's Garden. From the above snippet I can see All Eyes Open But One standing by as Genert is slain watching as the world ends, not acting, but waiting for transcendence as though in the eye of a storm.
However the myserious war between the Dragons and Giants (Gods of Glorantha) did take place early in this time. Also there's ample parallel for a defeated enemy to become a wise adviser (frex Croesus of Lydia who fought the Persians and lost, ending up as an adviser to Cyrus the Great. According to Herodotus anyhow...).
