<< I like the Lunars. I think that they are, fundamentally, the good guys.>>
Oh no! you have been riddled! The Lunars are out to destroy the world, they are another example of an Evil Empire and the use Chaos!
<< Correct me if I'm wrong, but the RMM material seems to assume that the
Lunars, while they may be rather sympathetic, are ultimately the villains of
Glorantha.>>
I think the opposite is the case; the Lunar Empire is generally good for Glorantha, but the villians that make up that empire are as bad, or good, as the rest of us.
<<The RMM view on Moonson seems to derive at least partly from
this -- it assumes that Moonson has relatively normal (and often base)
motivations. In my opinion, it makes him too _human. >>
In the LoM, Moonson isn't really present. The people trying to incarnate him/heroform him/summon him/become him have human/base motivations but once they have achieved their goal then it seems to me the Great Self of the Emperor is back in place and continuity, err , continues.
