The source I used had Helios and Zeus interacting, so I infer that Helios was not a Titan.

I suspect not -- just because many things in Glorantha are ambiguous or simultaneously true doesn't mean everything can be true. Orlanth is not the sun. Waha is not the sun.
On the other hand, it may be possible to prove that Firshala (a fire spirit or godling imprisoned near Griffin Mountain, for those of you not familiar with her) is a lost piece of the sun, or something.

Maybe paper is intended to be food? Sort of like potato chips (crisps) or tortillas or the wrappers for spring rolls. Too bad mostali don't interact enough with humans that they often snack on important scrolls...
