Au contraire. Look at the _legend_ to the two page pic on p19.

	'The illustration [...] shows [...] Harrek the Berserk
	and his pirate companions as they destroy a temple during 
	their assualt on the Rightarm Islands, in the holy country
	(Maniria).  This bloody event occured recently, in the
	year 1616'.
			Glorantha Book p19.

Criticisms aplenty can be raised about the quality and reused nature of the actual picce. But they do not mar the legend's veracity.
