I probably won't have any Nandani(tes) in my game, either, but you can bet I'll let my PCs know about 'em. It's too good a source of rumors and such: "It's well known that the founder of the such-and-such clan followed Nandan's ways!" I think that this is one of the odd little touches that make Glorantha such a fantastic place to game.

I like Ducks, too. We have one in Sandy petersen's campaign, an NPC who was finally taken over by one of our PCs: Blackbeak, Scourge of the Seas. From leading us to a pirate treasure in the mouth of a volcano (and guarded by a large salamander), to running a protection racket in Refuge, he's the tops!
