Not necessarily. There may be a Truth, but it might me that nobody knows what it is.

Of course, in your Glorantha, there may be one Truth, but that would remove much of Glorantha's charm for me. It leaves more room for innovation and creativity, while providing a foundation from which to build. I don't advocate "anything goes" as a design concept, but Glorantha has a well-defined character of its own. It still surprises and delights me after 20 years.
