Reading and writing is MUCH MUCH more rare in Glorantha than among us.
Among the Heortlings it is the sole provence of the Lhankor Mhy cult, who
tend to mistrust anyone else (even among Heortlings) who has acquired the
skill. That is, they do NOT teach it to anyone else.

I don't think anyone in Glorantha does this.
