I suggested that the False Dragon Ring imported Ehilm as a cult to help rule the people.

Not necessarily. The Kralori could have recognized cosmic concepts without specific cults dedicated to them. They certainly know that there is a sun, and that there is a cosmic source of all fire. Emperor One (whatever their name for him) was said cosmic source, and Emperor Two was the sun. No doubt they have cult-equivalents for both these emperors, and the God Learners either modified the second, or emplaced their own cult.
Basmoli and cat's eyes
Someone contradict me with better knowledge, but as far as I know (seeing lions in person, and in photograph) they DO NOT have vertically-slit pupils. So Basmoli would NEVER have such pupils. Orlanthi, maybe, to emulate a shadow cat, but NOT BASMOLI. So stop it please. (Unless I'm wrong.)

Of course, I know there are in Pamaltela. Maybe in Trowjang or elsewhere, too. And you don't save on Transform Limb spells -- in fact, you need 4 points of them, if you're a human. (Six, if you're a centaur -- get the picture?)

The latter. The only ways I can think of (off the top of my head) to become immortal in Glorantha are to (A) become a hero (in which case you eventually retire to the afterworld, so you're out of the picture). (B) drink from the Well of Life, or (C) be a Yelmalion victorious on the Hill of Gold. There's probably other techniques.

They're carried out by poisons, spies, assassins, bribery, subtlety, and spells, rather than by mustering hundreds of spearmen. Mustering your dukedom's armies and marching into combat will possibly harm the taxes, and we can't have that!
