First, I wrote this through my own image of Valkyries...I don't have any information about "Sorceror Knight" supplyment of HW, I think Malkionism is Masclinist Religion as RW Christianism Contemporary, and "Mother Earth" religion always revive from outcasts of these "Fundamental Dogmatists." Always History (not "Herstory") wrote with hand of men...And always Corruption of "Civilzation" came from Feminism of Prosperity as Cato Major and Augustus addressed in Roman "History".

Yes, I agree. I think Yggites are most safe people from Threat of Kingdom of
War,
so they only have feeble reason to United Fronela against KoW. Gunda the
Guilty maybe
Half Yggite/Loskalmi. But if she went Janube River Line and saw Havoc with
side of Harrek the Berserk and Lord Death on the Horse...But it's only my
imagination.
I prefer thinking most Paganstic Style Valkyries are Subroot of Fronelan
Humakti Cult.
(BTW, What is SK?)
And I think I can question about this again.
<<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....>>

I think very difficult task to convince people threat never happens for Snodal's foresight. He brought Syndics Ban instead of Deluge which would drown almost all of Fronela (Zzabur projected for unknown Purpose..) And Prince Snodal disappeared from Mandane World after Horrible Vivisection of GoSF in 1499/1500. Siglat, Gaiseron and his servants made Proxy tomb od Snodal as normal Orthodox Malkionism Saints... I guess most of Fronelan People don't know Snodal brought Ban and wrought "Minor" havoc.

I think so. Snodal saw Zzabur's introgue in Library of Altinela, but who other knows about it? Gaiseron? She intrigued this disastorous project in Middle World for unknown reason as one of Demigod Races.

There is always optional Reality in Glorantha. We can easily(?) warp "Reality" with Hero Quest or Other Strong Magical Method...Sorry for silly commentation.
