I don't know about general agreement, but I think Pentans use wagons (I've seen a comment in Greg Stafford's notes about them towing the glowing Golden Bow spirit around in a wagon). I've written a piece for the forthcoming Tales of the Reaching Moon, wherein Grazers also use wagons.

Isn't Eel-ariash already the name of a clan? The one Hon-eel and Jar-eel came from? I'm not sure what sort of name you want.

I posted a quote about natural wind-driven forges, and speculated they exist in Glorantha. Greg Stafford wrote me: "Yes, I am sure of it. Nice discovery! No doubt your Pentan clan has stumbled upon the ancient place
where the First War Band made copies of the Great Sword which fell to their leader from the sky."
