Arwen stays at home, sending messages of support to her man and weaving a flag for him. Sounds like the perfect Yelmic romance - or even Ernaldan if you accept that her sending the flag is what actually kicks him into action, to travel the Paths of the Dead and reveal himself as King.

Well, Harrek and Gunda are officially "not in love" since she has been cursed to never know love... so they're just good friends. Honest.

Isn't [one of the] Argrath [s] supposed to fall in love with Inkarne of Holay?

It does seem that most of Glorantha's "epic sages of love" involve gods, not mortals, though.
