Yes, I will do so if I have the energy, but just now I am exhausted for my
hard experience in current work.
I want to ask you or someone to add it to Lokarnos.com if you think it is
appropriate to be.

As I wrote there,
http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~BLUEMAGI/LandofVithela.htm
<<(2) Vormaino Imperial Houses setting are mostly unofficial of Sandy
Petersen (Information Source: Tadaaki Kakegawa and Nils Weinander) and Greg
might freely alter and change it in future, but as some of colored magic
Gods (Joserui), some of those officialised in Revealed Mythologies.>>
(Now I don't have power to include Vormai pieces to the tables....so most of Vormai tables are blanked.)
The matter is more complicated, for I have much more Sandy's (and Alex's and Nils') writing about Vormai and Dream Magic, but most of them are now went to old for Greg induced much about Vithelan Cosmology and World Myth (and his concept "Dream Magic is from Antigods.") after that. (Sandy Petersen has (had?) great ability to induce RW resources to Glorantha and I found fine RW chinese famous tales in Oliver's Mything links.)
I think both of Mything Links and Lokarnos.com has a common lack of sense to the famous Glorantha phenomenon, "Gregged", "Gregging", "Oh, no, this setting is no longer exists, it was Gregged!""Yes, this scenario is good, but the background is Gregging...." etc....
And some (many?) of good Sandy Petersen's workings are Gregged. And Nils and Alex wanted to go home.....for struggling to compromise Greg and Sandy (IMHO.) I think this time is good time for writing about eastern world, while Greg keeps attention to other area,,,,(but I cannot take any responsibility if he just writes some more about Vithela....)
Sincerely:
TI
