OOC
Remember also that some of us, according HQ rules, will suffer heavy penalties from being in an hostile magical environment... at least Kalen and Azhur (sorcerors) and Karala (animist).
I don't like these rules (either I don't like misapplied magic) but this is the whole logic of the new Glorantha.

I have seen a couple of versions, its the only myth of the Star Twins 
that has been published so far as I know and its their main one.

Basically the Twins realise their Lunar nature and travel by some 
difficult route to Glamour. They arrive as a rebel and his army are 
about to sack Glamour. They manage meet with the leader as he is 
separated from much of his army and has only his most loyal Sable riders 
with him. One of the twins distracts the leader whilst the other seduces 
the Sable Tribe to the Lunar cause. With his army either separated or 
turned against him the rebel leader is then defeated.

It maps quite well onto the stages of the Arkat quest up to the point 
where the heroquest challenge would be. Good successes in the early 
stages might help at the critical point, or they might not depending on 
narrator whim. At the challenge point one twin would have to distract 
the mystic whilst the other seduces the closest Telmori to him. The last 
stage would then be very different as at least some of the pursuers 
would instead be allies.

Its playing a bit fast and loose and mixing up myths but that is 100% 
appropriate both for Arkat and for the Lunar religion. Its partly why 
everyone else considers both such a complete menace :-)
