To me the one defining word for Glorantha is myth. What makes Glorantha most fascinating to me is the living myths and their reflections in just about everything about the world.

Erik: great duck stuff. I loved the Durulzan myth.

>Thus the Ducks always were supportive of the Kingdom, much
>more than the other tribes.

Loyalty is prominent trait of the East Isles keets too.

Jim Chapin:

>Rune effects: After ML's nice description of the effects of being
>around a possessor of the death rune, I asked for suggestions about
>similar effects of being around holders of other runes, but no one
>answered. Any one carer to take a shot?

Some obvious ones:

Harmony:	Everybody around the holder feels good, friendly to
		the people around, calm and at ease with the world.

Disorder:	The people around the holder get distracted, the
		words they speak might come out the wrong way, writing
		is likely to be misspelled etc.

Peter M: lovely morokanth story. Great summary of how the Praxians feel about each other too.
