Jane already gave an excellent list of answers to her question
>How can you deal with the situation where you as Narrator have made an
>error in canon Gloranthan fact, or in rules-based How Glorantha Works,
>and a player has noticed and been confused by it?
but I'll add a few more comments:
- Glorantha *is* contradictory. Is Orlanth a murderer or the ruler
of the world? Or Little Brother to the Storm Bull? How come the Dara
Happans have no Great Compromise in their mythology? From any one
viewpoint, a lot of stuff is true that simply isn't so from other
viewpoints.
- The rules *do* get Broken. Arkat and Harmast must have broken some
of the heroquesting rules. The God Learners broke the rules.
According to the Orlanthi, the Red Goddess broke the rules. (And
rule-breaking is essentially part of the rules -- part of what leads
up to the Hero Wars.)
- Nobody in Glorantha knows all of the canon or the rules. (Maybe
they *thought* the female scholar was a Buseri.)
