The Grazers use wagons.
It's the Galanini of Ralios who get offended. (Though we're starting to get off the topic of playing Hero Wars in Glorantha...)

I think the Heortlings have outgrown chariots -- most militaries seemed to use them for a while and then drop them in favor of cavalry. (Not that the Heortlings are big on cavalry...) Chariots are still used in several rituals, but are considered archaic by most tribes.
I don't recall if the horse collar exists in Glorantha.
