Poor girl... don't tell her! ;o)

Maybe everybody's favorite disease goddess/great spirit is named after someone against whom Greg had a grudge ?!? Ex-girlfriend? Former boss or teacher? Landlady? Who knows...

Omni rumoures [sic] sunt veritates.

On a more serious & on topic note, nowadays in HW-Glorantha (HQ-Glorantha!?!) is Malia a defiant entity? A great spirit for the Praxian= s
& a goddess for the Heortlings? What about Orlanthi further up north, do they also know her? Are there sorcerous diseases as well as divine ones in Glo' (according to AR: CotHW p.224 diseases seem to be only spiritual)? Are there any other known disease deities elsewhere, for ex. in the Lunar Empire?
