On Divination: It's easy to see why there's no RQ "see the future" style of divination. RQ is a game, and having PCs able to predict the future can be a serious problem for a GM. Glorantha however is bigger than the RQ rules. Now, divine style divination cannot give information about the future because that would violate the Compromise. On the other hand, the prophecies of the Hero Wars imply that knowledge of the future is possible. Now these great prophecies may be the result of heroquesting. Personally, I assume that there are people who will attempt to fortell the future throughout Glorantha, usually with about the same degree of reliabillity as newspaper astrology columns. That's not to say these folks are charlatans - just that the future is difficult to predict.
