let's see what I can give. If you are adverse to any spoilers, don't
read on.
If it was in existence before the Questers will have run it, then describing it, in whatever detail from handwaving to specifying the precise speeches used by each of the previous people who undertook this Quest since the start of the GodsWar, is no more a spoiler than all of KoS. OTOH, if the entire Gathering Storm series is just the authors proving that they can create more heroquests then retcon them into Glorantha better than anyone else, that is a different matter. In that case, Deus Ex Machina away, Ian.

Poor Harmast, limited to the now-revealed-as-trivial Full Lightbringer's Quest.
Oh, and Ian never does describe the 11 Lights quest at the level of a handwave. Apparently it brings back some of Orlanth's Ring (before the entire Ring disappears again before the Lunar quest spoiled by the DragonRise). Which ones, why they aren't there, already (even the Dragon's Head was long there, if wildly separated from the rest of the Ring for the Age), he is keeping a semi-secret.
ARGH!
