That's correct but in glorantha, the rational perspective is associated with the west, just as mystics are found in the east. Hence native Kralori traditions are mystically orientated. Darudists still act like Confucians in practice, it's just that their reasons for doing so are different.

The east does have much sky worship but it's really secondary to Eastern Mysticism. Sky worship in Kralorela is thought to begin with the Phoenix Emperor Metsyla whereas Teshnan fire worship began in the Great Darkness. I don't know much about sky worship in Vormain or the East Isles but I do think that such worship is really a dumbed-down version of mystical truths.

Patanaji wrote the _Yoga Sutra_, which gave a philosophical basis to yogic practices.
