:To me this seems a bit boring/drastic... The whole deistic part partially
:erased from the face of the Gloratha. I wonder what happens to the other
:belief systems?

The whole Argrath/Arkat kills all the gods and Glorantha becomes earth is propably the lamest thing Greg has ever written...

First of all it makes _no_ sense whatsoever that Argrath could drag _all_ the world's god's and demons into the same Quest, and even if he did manage "kill" them with his RQ-3 sword fumble:

What about Pamaltela? What about Kralorelan mystics who don't believe in Arachne Solara, and were even untouched by the darkness.

And besides! It's a blatant ripoff from Tolkien and even Moorock.

I think Greg has been very tired with Glorantha when he wrote that, and it should be ignored.

Or if you want it then use it like the syndics ban... as something that effects only the Dragon Pass area.
