Which is of course True, at least insofar as by "timeline" what's meant is "what people say happened", that is, what we quaintly call "history".

This works, though in the case of the Elmal Incident, you end up with "original reality" and "post-heroquest reality" reversed, if you see what I mean.
I'm sure most of you are familar with the observation that mythology is psychology misunderstood as history (Jung, if memory serves). You may think that this is less true in Glorantha (to put it mildly), but bear in mind that in the presence of HeroQuesting, even if Myth Is History right now, it very likely won't be in a minute. Unless you think heroquesting alters "actual history", too, at which point definition-freaks (not to mention historians) will jump down your throat.
Have fun,
Alex.
