The official line (from Greg) is that Storm Bull is a great spirit of Prax and Urox is a heortling god.
Sounds pretty clear-cut to me.

Manzato Claude:
>Still I rate an issue of Tales or Drastic higher than HW in professionalism

Unfortunately so do I.

In quality terms I thought the art in HW was perfectly good. However most of it seemed to be generic fantasy art with no Gloranthan flavour.
In comparison the art in Tales and esp. KoDP are superb at capturing the Gloranthan look IMO.
