Questions (for which I have my own answers, but am looking for better):
1. Why, mythically, are elves cannibals? Why don't they eat their
three primal elements: earth, water, and light?
2. It seems to me that Chalaneron is a blue elf (associated with Eron),
Vronkal is a green elf (the "Vronkali", after all), so (to maintain
three-fold symmetry, which seems important in Greg's most recent Aldrya
myth) High King Elf must have been a white elf, associated with Halamalao.
That would account for historical associations between elves and
Yelmalio/whatever worshippers in some areas. Any reason not to believe so?
3. Is there any reason to believe that any of these characters are
actually dead? Could Vronkal be hiding out in the Winterwood?
4. If Halamalao is the sun, and the sun disappeared to start the
darkness, and Zazakor the Taker was the agency of the that disappearance,
then the story of how the darkness started that is known among many humans
(some version of storm slew the sun) is totally different. Is that right?
5. Were any actors responsible for aiding in the rebirth of the Taker
as Bebester and the Grower as Sanarana, or where these just events that were
observed?
6. Are Aldryami animists, paganish sorcerers, or what?
7. Would Aldryami view the creation of the red moon in the same way
that they (retrospectively) view Osentalka: a misguided attempt to
compromise between Potential and Oblivion, rather than Grower and Maker?

can't find it on the new Glorantha site, unfortunately.
