Leaving aside the nit that there was no year 0 AD, what you seem to be doing is characterising an "absolute" as an event for which there's strong historical evidence. And yet, the sort of "absolutes" you want for Glorantha are quite different: not historical evidence (or at least, that's not what you assert in the case below), but great big objectively-experiencable signposts in the HeroPlane.

Which brigade would this be? Who argues this? Why do we have to have a false choice between Everything being an Absolute, and Nothing? Let's have some absolutes, by all means, but why should this True Natures of the Gods be one of them?

So essentially, you're saying that (at least) one of Humakt and Humath mythology is "wrong", and furthermore, that the worshippers ought to (be able to) realise it. I certainly don't see how they can just have failed to notice all this time, as the events in question must be among the most Quested to of either religion.

Why? What's your evidence for this contention? What's your reason for even _wanting_ this to be true?
Mystifiedly,
