I think it's terrible, although Dara Happans would agree with you to a man. In what sense is Trickster Lawfull? On the other hand he is part of nature.

Practicaly everything about nature in glorantha in the 3rd age is defined by how things were in the Golden Age. All the mythical relationships developed then and set the pattern for the world now.
