Why point at the Underworld at all? Why not point at the nearest concentration of Darkness? After all, Yelm is down there half of the time... This sort of compass would be of no value anywhere near Dagori Inkath, where pools of elemental Darkness lie across the landscape, some of them covering whole valleys. No wonder humans don't try to root out the Uz.
Lewis also makes comments on the needs of builders. I suggest that masons use a real plumb line; a weight on a string. Then a propituary prayer to keep the winds from blowing and swinging it.

Perhaps you could try dropping occasional words from the sentances. Try: "Perhaps you try dropping occasional words from sentances". hmmm?

Non-RQ in Glorantha:
Somebody mentioned using Champions in Glorantha. This would be a good system in so far as the game remains playable through vastly differing power levels. I have never done this, but I agree in theory. Any superhero game will have to be consrtucted to handle varying power levels. Marvel Superheroes and the DC Game both reflected their comic universes; Batman/Green Arrow at the low end, Flash and Captian Atom in the middle, and Superman/Wonder Woman at the top end. (That's Daredevil, Spiderman and Thor, for Marvel fans.)
The problem would be mainting a Gloranthan flavor, IMO.
