Sorcerers are right out for Orlanthi, and the entry for "Gustbran the Smith" in King of Sartar (p.51) mentions no aspect other than redsmith. (I'm not denying he has other aspects, but I do believe 85%+ of all Orlanthi smiths worship Gustbran.)

While this doesn't sound canonical, if you have the page, can you (or someone with the issue) e-mail at least the name of spells or abilities?

I believe you can only heroquest back to a battle which, when it was fought, had time-travelling heroquesters. In other words, there are no paradoxes. Arkat heroquested to save himself, so after he was saved, he had to go on the quest to save himself. (Don't ask me how such a loop gets started. It probably has something to do with the nature of Glorantha.)

Nor do the Dara Happans (though they've been exposed to the idea). As I said, the Lunars (heirs to the Dara Happans) can heroquest back in time, but still seem unable to reconcile emperor lists from two different empires (let alone the Dara Happans).
