I thought that their basic structure was established already: the central
world of Now has exclusive links to the three (or four, if Underworld is
differentiated) Otherworlds which each have links to the Hero Planes, which
are the "mythic ages" of Glorantha. Each Otherworld has its own
subdivisions, denizens and cosmic laws, and each is exclusive of the others
without any direct links between them. The three true Otherworlds also have
a cosmic connection with the Absolute.
The Underworld is not a true Otherworld within this definition of
Otherworld. It has links to all of the three Otherworlds.

I am working to quantify the constants in heroquesting to make it playable in a Hero Wars context. My plan to is to present a sort of HQ Guidebook first to indicate the nature of the Hero Planes where most HQing takes place. This is mostly in the Storm Age/4th action/Artmali Period/Gods Cycle. Golden Age is rare, because actions there usually precipitate the Gods Wars. Darkness Age is rare because it is so dangerous and random (all the worlds are broken in this era, and mixed together). No one goes to the Green Age. HQing to historical events are a special case.
