IIRC that particular volume of Gloranthan Classics was cancelled at the
last minute, after much heated behind-the-scenes debate. Many believed
that a detailed xenological study of the Grotaron "invisible fuckfest"
sacred ritual would hinder the development of Gloranthan RuneQuest Sight
research in general, because of the necessarily skewed focus implied for
the Adept, whilst others were of a various opinion, that the
psychoanalytics of Invisible Mountain Mammoth rôle-substitution in the
underdeveloped Grotaron psyche was illuminating for our understanding of
Genertelan psychomythogenic neuroses in general, and could not therefore
be discounted (despite the initially disquieting -invisible!- imagery)
as a method for understanding the deeper underlying sexual relationship
of Maker and Grower, as implicitly manifest in such lower mortal
consciousnesses (viz. Fraüd, S., Unsprecchlichenmammothige Id neurosis
und Grotarons mütter-complex mit invisibilens ilustrazions, vol. II,
Jrusteligeuniverstischepresse, Wasser-Erde 843). (Fraüd suggested the
theory that the Invisible Mountain Mammoths were "Id Monsters"
engendered by the raw, underdevoloped (hence neurotic) "magical" ie
phallic-energy power of the Grotaron-as-Maker (hence the sexual imagery
of the gigantic bow and arrow) lusting for an always unattainable and
violently sexualised osmosis with the cosmic mother-of-the-Grotarons (&
Grower-substitute), Scriimrunaway[1]).
