I'm not sure Sedenya made a new otherworld. Lunar magic comes from
the Moon which is a chunk of Glorantha raised into the sky.
Glorantha has had moons previously and Lunar theology seems to
believe that the different colours of moon are all aspects of the
same one.
As for Argrath being good, exactly what is he supposed to be good
at? Given that we can't be sure that anything that's attributed
to him was actually done by him. I know he is supposed to be the
true Orlanthi hero which would make him a theist with a best
ability of something like "Lead Orlanthi" AKA "Herd Cats". If that
isn't true then he could be anything.
