Daxdarius actually worked with people who were way after Piku.

They were there all the time.

They caused their own problems.

Before Time.

Mutual distrust.

Compare their movements to the gypsies.

Their techniques make them special. "special" doens't necessarily mean
"better" or even "unlike anyone else."

Sorcerers.

This is her purpose.
It is intended to be left to the Narrators to make up their own story. I
know of a couple of interesting versions of it.
>Are there any areas of Glorantha that are either not current WIP or which no

The farther away you get from the main theater of action the more likely
that there is less being determined about it.
>Perhaps questioning certain divine gender-preferences in glorantha
>is quite as useful as is trying to refute gravity in real world?
Good analogy.
