Not from my end of the telescope. It seems possible, instead.

That is, if you look at things from the POV of the Generti/Ancient Praxians, then Genert is the Great God of Earth, and they would likely consider him as the Ultimate Source of all Earth Magic. It is from this POV that I made the suggestion (although admittedly, this is almost pure godlearnerism, and mostly/entirely irrelevant to HW period Glorantha).

OK, but now that we've started our way down God Learner Street, and talked about the Four Corners of the Earth Rune ; does anyone know anything about the following matters ?

Bearing in mind that the Earth is a Cube : (and from a GL POV)

Who are the gods/powers that govern its Eight Corners ?

Interesting question : Don't know, but this is presumably the same entity that has a weird penchant for collecting hyena pelts ...
