As it would have been witnessed (possibly) on a Glorantha-wide level, surely every culture would have a different perspective on what it meant and what it actually was. I'm sure that in some places the effects of the two stars falling manifested as part of something local even if the stars fell somewhere else. And who's to say they didn't. I'm quite sure the stars could fall in many places, but we've only one (so far) record of it.
I'm also a bit wary of saying this is the way things are for everyone as that takes us back to the "good old days" of the monomyth and we know that an overall version of Glorantha just isn't what it's about now.
