I don't believe that you can come down to any 'X is right, Y is wrong' formulations in Glorantha. Not outside of a Heroquest challenge, anyway. And even that would only be binding on the participants. In these terms, I believe the Brithini will start the hero wars at a huge disadvantage, as they are used to working within their own closed system, unrelated to the rest of the universe. Nothing to say they can't come out ahead, but they do have a distinct, exploitable weakness.

Cheers,
Graham
