This is also true in the world of Gloranthan Heroquesting. Gbaji fundamentally altered the nature of troll fertility.I do not believe that this event can be reversed. It can perhaps be redirected, or worked around, as was done at least twice (i.e., uzdo and litters of trollkin), but not just stopped cold.
Ditto with other heroquest events. You can't go on the heroplane and give Yelmalio back his Fiery heritage. You can't quest to make Storm Bull king of the gods. Those things are already decided. They're over, quantized. BUT ... you might be able to triumph over some dark fire god, and found a subcult of Yelmalio or a special geas that allowed the user to have access to certain fire magic. Or you might be able to make a _particular_ Storm khan freed from Orlanth Rex.
Now that Time rules Glorantha, it can no longer be rolled back.
TIME TRAVEL IN GLORANTHA
I am firmly convinced that if time travel takes place in
Glorantha, it can _only_ occur between entire Ages, because at the
end of each Age, the world was reborn anew, and Time, in effect,
restarted.
