Nice call. Gloranthan Humans, at least according to human myth, were made by many gods, and possibly not all at the same time. So you could say that Humans have a little bit of all the major runes. Or perhaps stick with the classification that humans are bearers of both Man and Beast Rune.

I really like the suggested reinterpretation of Mostali. A bit more thinking to cast off the cliches, and I might even let them into my Glorantha!

Cheers
