Now so? What inalienable precept of Orlanthi belief requires this, and how does it apply to Kralorela? (Which is about as Orlanthi-free a place as you can get, and still be on Glorantha...)

I don't see how this in any way corresponds to a requirement that there must be chaos everywhere, in a sense that meets with Orlanthi preconceptions about it. This would be like saying "the Orlanthi must have Parondpara and Antigods, else the East Isles world view is negated". Naturally, I agree with the principle, just not with your application of it.

Is it giving equal validity to different world views to imply that obviously there's chaos all over Kralorela, as per the Orlanthi and God Learner models, but clearly those tricksy Kralori are lying about it? Or to insist that whatever the Kralori understanding is, it must be reinterpreted according to Orlanthi norms?
Slainte,
