See my correction - although taking Teelo Estara's place is something that I can see Yanafal Tarnils doing.

Exactly right.
In my current campaign, the players often use HeroQuesting to achieve things. One player is quite gung ho and will do a HeroQuest without thinking things through. Another will do them if necessary. The third, a Praxian Storm Khan, is the voice of reason, the one who asks if they really want to do this and warns of dire consequences if they change things.
Players should find HeroQuesting disturbing, confusing and even scary. They should be on edge all the while and things should throw them completely. Even succeeding on a HeroQuest can have negative effects and failing can have positive effects.
That's why HeroQuesting is fun and my favourite part of Glorantha by far.

Pah! Seventh Soul? Wrong kind of illumination, I feel. I'm more of an Arkat/Gbaji abuser of the world.
By the way, if anyone wants a ropey, moth-eaten Morokanth costume then let me know. I'll probably not wear it again unless I am playing another Morokanth.
