See more about King Heort: Javern Spithorn http://www.glorantha.com/hw/javern_sunsetleap.html

AR p.73, Heort was depicted as Stag, TR p. 194-195, and see Simon Bray's Illustration in ST p. 240.
Maybe in primitive mythology of dawn age, (as John Hughes' Taroskarla?) Heort was a sort of Psychopomp between Life (Time) and Death (Darkness) like CERNUNNOS or old RQ 3rd Horned Man.

Maybe this "ancestor" doesn't mean direct descendant of him....."He was grand-uncle of my aunt...." See TR p. 94, italic. But such matter should be treated more by scholars of Orlanthi and ancient german tradition like John Hughes or David Dunham, Jane Williams.....than by an ignorant japanese....
