I would not want to stifle the creativity of investigation, so I will only state some of the obvious.
Row I. The gods did a pretty good job of clearing out the sky, or of taking
over the cleared out sky, or some such.
Row II: 17, fire is always diecey about its origins
21, the bear is Arakang, original powerful spirit boss of Arir (Ent, p
70)
22-24, all from Arir, where the Yarm tree is still revered beyond all
reason, but not because it deceived Anaxial.
25 - Someone tell em the official origin of the Gryphon?

Start a thread called Square Headed Gods, and ask a few of the important questions with as concrete an example as you can. Citing page numbers helps.

Cosmological storytelling is my favorite part of Glorantha, where I began
and which has the deepest roots.
I do not have a lot of time for this, I will spend it on my favorite things.

My interest is more in revealing what has not been said, or maybe said clearly, rather than reiterating what people seem to grasp, and talk about "correctly."
