Most Events of Glorantha generally have ignored except directly connected areas. These Major Events of Gloranthan cannot be ignored because these are very influential such as change of Sky World even though their conservatism and insularity. But I still question some "other" people's View about these events.

0 ST Orlanthi' s Dawn. (Kralorelan Emperor Vashanti abdicated his throne?)

111 ST Bridle Conjunction, Kargzant is bound to (or Overcomes) Lightfore.
(Dara Happans mainly feed these celestian information to the World Council
of Friends.)

375 ST The Sun Stop [G:CotHW#1] aka Timestop Kragfils / Arkat is born at Brithos as Nysalor / Osentalka in Dorastor.

475 ST The Sun goes slowly (or backward?) with Meddling of Servants of Styx. [TG]

718 ST The Waertagi are destroyed at the battle of Tanian's Victory [G:CotHW#1]. The Sea of Flame is created as a result [ToTRM#10].

751 ST Star of Errinoru appears (near Erenbaya??)

920 ST The Closing radiates from Brithos [G:CotHW#1] Boat Planet disappears during circa the start of lapse of GL Empire.

975 ST Plague and New Monsters destroy Embyli Empire and Family of Errinoru.

1042 ST Minarian Memory Removal. Auld Wyrmish Channel is lost from these human.

1049 ST A single ship of Luatha landed on the shore of the Kingdom of Seshnela. A mountain high tidal wave turned the southern land into islands and a wave of blue and red light washed across the land killing thousands.

1050 ST Jrustela is sunk [G:CotHW#1]. Slontos sinks beneath the waves despite
the construction of a massive wall [G:CotHW#1, Postcards from Glorantha] In Vormain, great disaster ends one Dynasty.

1051 ST Dragon's Awakening Shudder (Earthquake of Kralorela) Planet Lokarnos jump to a further place in its normal path.

1120 ST Dragonkill, Massacre of All of Dragonpass Humans.

1247 ST The Red Moon ascends into the Sky [G:CotHW#1].
(0/27) AgartuSay / Sheng Seleris is born. Orlanthi see the Scar of Heart and
call it Shepelkirt.

1460 Battle of Kitor, Sheng Seleris is enslaved to Mystical Prison. Dark Spot in Heaven
appeared (But some of other people such as Praxians insists it has existed before this event.)

1500 ST the Syndics Ban to descend on Fronela [G:CotHW#2].

1506 ST Night of Horror. Hon Eel and Lunar Emperor Magnificus die.

1580 ST Dormal the Sailor sets sail to the Three Step Isles beginning the Opening of the Oceans.

1625 ST Stellar Draconis Raising, "where Burburstus took a bite out of Shargash; in the Middle Air, where the green star of the Ring appeared" Observers everywhere saw the Orlanth constellation, rise on the wrong day and then spiral around the sky in about an hour as several planets and constellations streaked out of place to explode against the orange stars. Boat Planet reappears?

Hero Wars start.

YELM
Gloranthan Cults of Sun has changed the distribution of these since RQ3 Edition: Gods of Glorantha teached Solar Influence distributed throughout East Vithela and Northern Pamaltela, but this condition was changed recent Greggery of Missing Lands and Vithelan Mythology.
(IMHO, God Learners made concept of Worldwide Sun "Ehilm" Worship. And many
Barbaroi Areas were involved to this Category.)

Pent Kargzant: this worship has made some of other Area it's territory like Modern Erigia and Western Part Grazeland of Dragonpass. Sheng Seleris may be seen as one incarnate of this relative.

Dara Happan Yelm: "She Guards Us" set Red Emperor Cult and Some of Classic Solar Cult Compatible. IMO, Conservative Nobles of Dara Happa may disdain this new condition and still keep minority group in Senatus?

Teshnan Somash: Teshnan Great God maybe stand against Deus Otiosus Zitro Argon as Dara Happa with some influence from Dara Happans or Seleran Empire...

Kralorelan HeenMaroun: I still think this Local Sun God and "Dragon Emperor" before Metsyla has had some Sky Power as same as RW Chinese Emperor that linguistical meaning is "Avatar of White Sky, First among Humans"

Vormai Valzain: Black Color Magical God may make his color itself against Celestial Idea of RW parallel? ("Black is Darkness" concept may come to Evil as Native Africans...Black is beautiful.) Jappanese Ten-nou also almost means same as Chinese Word, but more "Sky" hieroglyphically stressed. (Ten is Tien of Chinese Word: Fate, Order of Heaven, Destiny of Justice)

Vithelan Govmeranen or Maluraya: Vishnu / Surya? Dream Magic Sect makes this connection? I think Vithelan Hinduistic influence underconsciously roots this Foundation...

Pamaltelan Kendalamanar: Missing Land stressed Fonritan City States "Slavocracy" and Umathelan original Malkionism. If Solar Worship is emphasised in these rural Area, Elfish Influence is dominant as Elamle.

Aldryami Flower Bringer: their Haramalao closed to Human Yelmalio rather than Dar Happan Yelm. But some connection is hinted in FS p28. Emperor Emharsnik. Maybe some classical Dara Happans and Rist Elves made some contact about this culture even though their deep cultural difference and alienness.

Yelmalio Worship: If Dara Happan Deyseneras is all source of Gloranthan Solar Worship...
I agree Alex Ferguson's idea about Arroin and Healer / Solar structure: maybe Elvish Sky Worship preceded Dara Happans as Entekosiad hints....

Any Comments about this humble idea?
