An ancient article in Wyrms Footnotes 4 gave the following info about time:
"TIME is called the Weapon of Ghani, the Backbone of Kara-polor, the Invisible Nail, the Eater of Entropy, and the Great Compromise. Like most other of the Laws or Powers of Glorantha it is rarely worshipped, yet is always present: a permanent part of the cosmic fabric. It is the product of all the gods, although the seven (or eight) Lightbringers are usually called its parents. The Children of Time's Body are Powers and Forces, like Springtime, Evening, or Age."
Somewhere in the depths of ancient publications, a name is given which may be an actual name for the "god" time -- I'll try to look this up soon.
It is interesting to note that, at the Battle of the Four Arrows of Light, the Lunar hero (?) who delivers the Third Arrow for the Red Goddess is described as "Kana Poor, Scribe of Time, and Wielder of Age". No mention of him is made later in any source, though I have pointed him out to Greg a couple of times.
I make an assumption that Kara Polor, of whom Time is the Backbone, and Kana Poor, Scribe of Time, are probably related to each other. I wouldn't state anything beyond that, however. Note that Kana Poor delivers his arrow at High Noon, that he delivers the light of the world, and that there is an implied association with Truth.
