As I was skimming, I was half-seriously going to propose that the only reasonable standard would be King of Dragon Pass, because
1) it's the only Glorantha product accessible to non-fans 2) it's at a high level of abstraction 3) it's illustrated, so everyone can see e.g. what Vingans look like
Although of course really KoDP is really only a source for Dragon Pass.

Then I got to this and, you know, I think GAG must mean what Jane agrees Glorantha is. For example, I don't recall ever running into a cigar-smoking duck in any Seattle Farmers Collective game. Nor are any illustrated in KoDP. (But see point 2 above -- the level of detail is so broad that it certainly doesn't exclude cigar-wielding ducks.)
Really, I don't know that this is a meaningful discussion. YGWV.
