Not rally, our view of Glorantha just changed subtly between RQ2 and RQ3, and we realised that not all cults had to have the two ranks. Many get along fine with one rank, but different individuals just have different fields of expertise. We also realised that Bearwalkers are actually just part of the wider multiculture that we now call 'hsunchen', that Divine and Spirit magic are not the only commonly practised forms of magic, etc.
