The citation was made because you asked where this line was in cults of prax.

The lunar philosophy is so broad that it can be used to justify just about anything. The seven mothers alone contains the cult of Danfive Xaron, whose worshippers willingly enslave themselves to the cult in return for a chance at personal redemption and liberation. (The alternative of being put nastily to death may have something to do with this...)

When the lunars being pro-slavery is supported by a quote some twenty three years old, I fail to see how this is "messing with Glorantha".
At the end of the day why are you so upset that the rules applied to every other Gloranthan society also apply to the Lunars? i.e. All societies are contradictory, use spurious arguments to justify behaviour that at first glance would be incompatible with their philosophy, do not live up to their ideals, and are, in essence, human.
Or have you not noticed that, for instance, the Orlanthi, who are supposed to value movement, freedom, and change above all else, are the most hide-bound conservative traditionalists imaginable?
