Rather than answer that question, I'd pose a counter-question: Who do you think wrote this (self-important outside-observation) of which country's sun folk? How much of this is mis-interpretation, and how much is over-generalizing from possibly single examples?

Again, IMO one has to ask where in Glorantha this belief will be found. (Not whether; I doubt there are many believes not found in one corner of Glorantha...)
