I've taken a similar approach. I started them (once they fled their homeland in Sartar) in Prax because that's what I had material on. We're prior to the Lunar invasion so I have plenty of timeline to play with (and a resolution that if they wind up doing something to change the invasion, so be it).

Yes, you understand where I'm coming from.

I think the whole myth thing with me has been overstated (I'm willing to bear the blame for this). Yeah, I've got a handle on how many of the feats work in my game. There are those ones that just seem to come out of the blue. When those happen, it's nice to be able to find some help, and "it does what I want" isn't what I'm looking for (which is what started my complaint).
I don't want a fuzzy setting, and that comes into conflict with modern Glorantha (and I still stand by my assessment that Glorantha didn't used to be so fuzzy).
