Slow down a bit here, Sergio. Sandy & Greg have stated more than once that the Trolls, Elves & Dwarves were the Id, Ego & Superego. I too have heard it at cons. That doesn't mean I like it, or agree with it. It means its a fact of life in the 'baseline' Glorantha that most of us start out with, and then modify. If you don't like/understand it, scrap it.
_But_, it remains the case in the 'baseline' Glorantha, the one that gets talked about here in the Digest; after all, we have to have a common ground to start our discussions with.
I am loathe to suggest that this be taken to private Email, as many people seem eager to continue this subject. But to me the arguments appear to be starting to go around in circles. Can we agree to disagree?

Yes, I agree with this also. But to add a twist, if one of the 'Argraths' actually attains Heroic Stature, then he is likely to stop aging. Like Sir Ethilrist & numerous other examples.
