I guess Harald Smith made many works for Central-Southern Peloria in New Lolon Gospel and Enclosure, he construct his working with his own long campaign, (Glorantha Con 2 mentioned about Imther Worldview.) He made some break through for between old and new gregging for Yelmalio. Though I don't know who made many faces of Yelmalio after Elmal first appeared in KOS, he made buffer among Dara Happa and other "barbarous" Orlanthi area ingeniously. He also made list of Sairdian Dragonslayers and EWF dragon mystics in Old Issaries Site. (I think it still survives.)

Who was Cat Sympathizer? See Nick Brooke and Calvin the Cat! See Greg Stafford Orlanatus and Yinkin the Wildcat! Glorantha is Bad Place for Dogs! See Kralori Myth of Anaxial Roster!
Cat is more cunning and swift than Slow dog eatting rotting corpses!

No! Dogs are greater and friendly than Cats! Talor the Laughing Warrior has Dog Emblem! See WatchDog Council of Loskalm and Jajagappa of Saird, Harald Simth and Peter Metcalph must be Dog Sympathizer! I like symmetry!

You should not include cousins Telmori and Basmoli!

I'm heard about two famous sagas for only GTA heros available: Harmast Saga was introduced with first chapter of "Morden Defends the Camp" But what is Arkat Saga? ( THE TALE OF SERALOS DEGUYS: who? ) I guessed it existed only in Brain of Greg Stafford as Necronomicon in that of HPL. Tales of the Reaching Moon and Book of Drastic Resolution some mentioning fragments of them, but if perfect version of these tales (Work in Progress) existed, it will be great volume.

Robin Hood Goodfellow?
I like English Juvenile Literature, but still cannot remember Title One of These Tales. Robin made many friends in enemies, and died tragedically...

Alliance of Vadeli and Mostali: In God War, Vadeli and Mostali made alliance against their common enemy...but who was "Common Enemy"?

Red Moon and Telmoli Curse of Weekly Cycle: AFAIK In Dragonpass, Telomoli became Wolf in Full Moon, but in the another area? I think in Older Version of Glorantha, concept of Glowline and Moon Cycle was not fixed for debate split into some factions. In current glorantha, Moon Phases around Wintertop and Dragonpass in Wild Day is Full Moon, but how you can know moon phase in other area? IMHO, Telmoli become Wolf in Wildday, and Full Moon coincidence in romantic dragonpass situation of Talor Curse.

Funeral Type:
Why Vampires existed only in Western Culture? Because in other areas, people don't believe Judgement Day and Revival, and they burned corpse with pyre (Cremation) as Pagan Homer let Achilles burn his friend in Iliad or Brunhilde burn Sigurd in Edda (Orlanthi and Darahappans burn their dead, or burial at River as some Hindis, or leaving a corpse exposed to the vultures
in Zoroastrian Style, because death is unholy, but fire is holy for AhuraMazda.
So undead are only situation of illegal burial in Orlanthi Culture, Or in Uz Style, eating corpse (Kyger Style) and made Automaton (Zolak Style) maybe also cause of epidemic, because Burying Corpse Style as Feudal Christians is expensive for Hygiene. And Malkioni...without Judgement Day, how do they treat their corpse? They "logically" don't have reason to use dead unless they are not Necromancer. Brithini enjoyed katharsis their few deaths in Glorantha Genertela Book.
IMHO, Holy Country made many mummies for guarding City of Wonder and Pharaohic Tradition of Luck and Death....
