Aside from Nick's "pro-lunar" statement in HW mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HeroWars/message/13655

Though I don't know how many of the heortling clans in Sartar are not thrall holders in KODP setting, Glorantha is Fantasy World, and perhaps magically or cosmologically, Yelmites hold Pyramid Style of Society and Centralized Civilzation, the opposite of Decentralized Heortling. http://glorantha.kondalski.org/g9index/0227.html http://glorantha.kondalski.org/g9index/0229.html

Orlanthi vs Yelmists
Division of Labour inherent to Civilzation for humanity (except Dragons and Youf, they are at least not humans.)
And the existence of Privilege Class.

While even the King of Gods Orlanth working hard on the field while he is free from enemies but Emperor never know how to plow fields of his domain. (See some story of Tolstoy, Ivan the Fool.)

Is Civilization good, or Bad? Or is Nysalorism (and Arkatism) Good or Bad? Is it worthy the culture without any writing and scribes? As in Illiteracy Era......
Can Malkioni use their magic without their Grimoire? Are there any civilized Hsunchens?

Joerg:
Greg wiped out EWF supporters from the Clan Questionnaire in OiD!
