<< About the spontaneous generation of life,>>
I don't think that happens in Glorantha, unless chaos is involved. Of course, there is manufactured 'life', like the nilmergs, but that's not quite the same thing. And non-chaotic spontaneous generation *used* to happen, back in the Green Age, and possibly later, but not since time began, IMO.
<< I ask you: how do you manage the rotting matter in Glorantha? You have no
bacteria and no viruses. >>
You don't need them; organic matter returns to the living cycles of the world, because those are the laws of nature. OTOH, I suppose one could argue that we don't know for sure that saprophytic bacteria don't exist in Glorantha, as nobody's invented the microscope yet, let alone the Gram stain. But I doubt it :-)
<<Do organic matter rots in the same way (dangerous to living beings, due to
infection
expositions) as in the RW? >>
Pretty much. Disease spirits are attracted to rotten stuff; they like the stench.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
