Given that Harmast spent time in Corolaland, and that from my brief glance at Harmast's Saga he took off from the Hill of Orlanth Victorious in a flying chariot, I always assumed he flew over the mountains to get to Ralios, rather than taking the southern route.

This would probably make him a son of Humath, were he born in my Ralios. (I think Humath must have been the Ralios god of the destructive storm.)

I had thought that being black would enhance MGF (by making the moon Different), but your way is better, since it allows the moon to be more easily ignored in far-off places -- if it was always visible in some form, it would be more important.

No, but if Nick gives me some, I'd gladly post it. (Pam might be thinking of "How to Tell the Barbarians Apart," where Mike Dickison summarized the Bastisi, who I think are neighbors of the Wenelians.)
Timo Euler asked about the spell "Entseelen," which in English is Sever Spirit. In Glorantha, this spell is one-use for all deities except Humakt. Yes, it's powerful, but for 3 points of rune magic, it's about right (at least I haven't seen complaints before).
