I'm not sure that it's consistent with some of the things Issaries/Greg have said in the past. At some point the 'official' history of the Hero Wars has to be suspended and 'individual' histories take over. I really don't want Glorantha to develop in the same way as the World Of Darkness with an 'official' history constantly being revised in irritating ways.
