Very elegantly put... I wish I had tought of that (tough there hasn't yet been a single thunderstone seen in the campaign... after eight years)
I also started to wonder if one can find flint after a thunderstorm... perhaps where lightning has struck a rock. Sounds very orlanthi to me.

Testify brother! No really... I have always wondered why people are so eager to have a curving, or pseudo curving horizon on Glorantha. Isn't it much more interesting (and more logical too) that there isn't a horizon on this flat world of ours. The effects of this are not really so evident on the ground level... things still get obstructed by other things, an in the distanse the body of Orlanth gets in the way and all you see is a blue haze. The interesting differenses start when one climbs a mountain in and looks about... I like it.
ok... enough, for now.
