I would have guessed it takes 3/4 of a year.

If days are longer, than pregnancy wouldn't take 40 weeks... I believe days are the same length as on Earth, but people (and animals and crops) simply mature and age faster due to the magical nature of Glorantha.

I haven't explored Lankst yet (having concentrated on East Ralios -- check <http://www.pensee.com/dunham/ralios/ralios.html> and especially the map of Ralios) -- but I postulate that Naskorion is populated by Orlanth-worshipping Malkioni. Their closest neighbors, the Riagos tribe, hate them in large part because they're so similar (the Riagos don't like sorcerers, but sorcerers who claim to worship Orlanth are the worse).
In Otkorion, Surantyr has managed to convert many people using the cult of Siglolf Cloudcrusher, imported from Lankst, and relations could be friendlier. Or just as bad, since only the traditionalists are left as true Orlanthi.
I assume you're aware of Windy Hill (from Tales of the Reaching Moon 12). The Great Temple's relations with the Elves of Ballid are bad, but the King pays tribute to the elves, and apparently wants to keep a truce.
Let me know what you come up with, and I'll probably incorporate it into my campaign.
