Glarking from context, I think by "there" he means "death". In Glorantha, plants die every winter (for deciduous plants) or every night (for evergreens), so death isn't as terrifying.

Another random speculation: I wonder if hibernating animals are also considered to "die"? This would make sense, given, e.g., Odayla's "sleep back to life" secret.
