Well, so was a certain oasis in Prax (Moonbroth), which has a geysir erupting every Wildday.

Of course, that oasis happens to lie in the appropriate segment of Glorantha...

I don't really think so. It was Talor who pronounced the curse. What did he have to do with the Blue Streak? What did he see behind the gate of Banir (whence, I suppose, Harmast and friends brought him back) to choose this cycle?

Wildday has the beast rune in the Theyalan calendar, right?
