Just who says so? If X, or indeed myself, wants the 3rd age to end with an
overarching empire (and let's face it, all people on the side of good and
right want the Lunars to stuff up the Orlanthi good and proper), then why
not let your PCs be the ones to do it. How? Spend lots of game years &
eventually kill Harrek.

I refer you to Greg's notes in the back of the Genertela book. Yes it IS Glorantha he's playing, it's HIS Glorantha. And you should be able to accept that his alternate vision is just as valid as yours and that it's not the type of campaign that you would want to play in. I wouldn't want to play in a campaign which is totally to do with mythic resonance, had no rules and meant that I never got to do any hack and slay. (Not that I'm implying that your campaigns are like that, it's just an example).
Glorantha the pleasure of which comes from exploring

For you it does, perhaps not for the players in his campaign.

Nor will it in this case, because the events will only happen in his campaign, not everyone else's.
PS Expect some more dodgy doggerel in the not too near future.
