In the RW, this is very important. People scoff at the idea that English mountains (997m maximum altitude) can be deadly. What kills is wet clothing followd by hypothermia.

I can't see how that would work in Glorantha, with the implied collusion between Heler/Water and Valid/Cold. Certainly not in Heortling lands, with Heler being a by-word for loyalty (to Orlath), and Valind being an outsider.

Any ideas?
