Great story about Just Slow! How much was original and how much was
taken from earthly folktales? Actually this is something I'd like to
know about all the folktales and myths that people write for
Glorantha. I think it's important to state which folktales were
literary inventions and which were adapted from earthly folktales, for
earthly folktales will inevitably (IMO) have more of a resonance of
truth than will invented ones.
And speaking of sources, Sven is right. Kirgj's metaphysics follow
the metaphysics in Kult closely, including such insane paranoid
touches as the idea that animals are demonic spies, and that dogs are
our only allies among the animals. Of course Kult's metaphysics draw
enough from Montanism and the loonier kinds of Gnostism that you could
easily come up with Kirgj's metaphysics by going to Kult's sources
instead.
