So tell me. Is the sun an emperor named "Yelm" who ruled in the Golden Age, or a weaponthane named "Elmal" who loyally served Orlanth throughout the Storm Age and the Darkness?

Corollary: Was there a sun shining on the surface world while Orlanth was on the Lightbringers' Quest?

People in Glorantha aren't postmodernists (except for Godlearners, perhaps). But Glorantha is definitely a PoMo world.
