Hey, if you can pick and chose your data, why not let others have the
same courtesy? As far as I am concerned, she's a chaotic being. The
text as written describes her as such frequently. I was told that,
when writing the Cults of Glorantha, I should always rely on Gods of
Glorantha and the Prosopaedia unless directly contradicted by later
work. HW/HQ seems to treat her as chaotic. So when I wrote Cults of
Glorantha, she was put in as a chaotic entity.
Straw men aside, I simply don't find any work that contradicts
Krarsht being chaotic. Why is this so hard?
