Namaste:
An interesting topic.

Isn't Old Age a function of "Time", the child of Arachne Solara?

from http://www.glorantha.com/library/prosopaedia/t.html#time

Time Universal -- the measurer and measurementTime is nowhere worshiped as a deity, but almost everyone acknowledges its omnipotence. Before the advent of Time the divinities were free of constraints and acted as they wished. These actions destroyed the world, which was saved only when Arachne Solara arranged the Great Compromise, devoured chaos, and gave birth to Time. The Red Goddess, reborn within recent history, sometimes claims to have special powers of Time but such boasts have never been backed by action.

Fundamentally, Time is fundamental part of the Great Compromise, and as a such the powers of the Old Gods won't save you from It.

Of course, the Lunar Way is different. We can all become Sevened and Immortal, thanks to Her Radiance.

Praise Her! We Are All Us! In the End the Victory will be Ours!
