Interesting. Now what would you think if you were told that the past IS immutable, but that our knowledge and perception of what really occurred is all that is changing through Myth progression? In the 'real world', history does not change, but still all the myths of all cultures changed their beliefs as to what that history really was. Having 'real' gods does not affect this in Glorantha, especially if the mythological progression has true power. (unlike the real world, according to most)
