Hmmm, I hate it when people ask me to back up things I spout off the top of my head... Here goes anyway! Drastic:Prax p.10 says, "Winter begins when Dark Eater clears the horizon." Well, that's hardly conclusive, and it certainly doesn't establish cause and effect, but that's the best I could find in 5 minutes of running around trying to find the far-strewn bits of my Glorantha Library.
Chris, as far as that PBEM game goes, beware the return of Bright Treasure to Prax. That's all I'm gonna say. No, it isn't. If you gather the remants of the Sable Tribe and in heroic fashion fend off the troll attack on the Paps, the Bright Treasure *might* spare you from it's burning gaze. I'd act on that advice immediately if I were you.
I still think the other Troll War Gods taunt Dark Eater mercilessly about his fertility aspect. Maybe that's why he's invading now, to join forces with the priestesses at the Paps. Hmmmm.
