Ahh, the enternal recurrence in Glorantha mythology :)

OT: Jane Williams, who has been as long friend of Glorantha, has declared
that Rotterex killing the Crimson Bat is deserving of being "official
history" and all other histories are null and void. Well done Erica :)

The first thing that happens is the winds pick up again. The constant fall
of snow ceases. The clouds part as the breath of Orlanth breaks the
clouds.. and the Yelm looks down upon his children, pleased to see that
they stood in favour of the eternal way against chaos against the temporal
alliances of nations and empires..
