I didn't even know it existed until about the time HW came out. At that time there was an expectation that revised versions of the whole of Glorantha would be published. Instead they've got involved in repeatedly revising the rulebook.
I probably should get a copy from ebay sometime, although I was doubtful how much extra information was included.

Such as the actions of the gods. It may just be my Glorantha but I see the gods doing things like this, not frequently but often enough for it to be noticed. Of course not all those identified as such will it actually be natural - if someone with lots of money is asking about children with crimson hair someone else will get hold of some dye.
Bear in mind being noticed by the gods is not generally a good thing. Makes a good story but the gods don't care about the consequences.
