Enmal Mountains? Where are they? The only major mountain ranges that I know of in Pamaltela are the Tarmo, Palakri and the Mari Mountains and beyond Jolar is the Sea of Fire (which looks flat in the RQII map of Glorantha.

A Humble Suugestion. The City of Mernita (now Elz Ast IMO) worshipped Verithurusa/Sedenya who is a lunar goddess. I suggest that the Moon Goddess of Mernita was the daughter of the White Moon which passed through.
This would make the Blue Moon over Pamaltela also a daughter of the White Moon. Yes, yes I know somebody will have to quote Troll Gods at me but rather than blame it on the God Learners, I suggest they were lied to by the Blue Moon Cultists for their own nefarious ends.
Certainly the Blue Moon has the contest with Yelm and seems to be exiled to Hell where she teaches the Trolls. This would be sometime before Yelm's death so perhaps the Doraddi have a myth of how Lodril sent Artmal's mother to the Underworld for punishment. There she meets Lorian and plots to invade Heaven. Now for some reason, the approach into Heaven is via the Eastern Gates where she ascends into the position above Pole Star. When the Spike explodes, She descends into the Void and reappears at the Courts of Silence with the Gods to fight the Devil.
BTW I have just dipped into the WWW page and for the Astronomy Treatise, I notice that Steve Martin has identified the Planet Moskalf as Dendara. Is this canonical or what?
