Just got around to actually reading this review; thanks for the kind words about my very old Ralios article.
You see at one time I had a bug in my ear to put out a fanzine all about First Age Glorantha. The Galinini article is as far as I got before deciding that Glorantha really couldn't support a setting in a different era.
Heh.
Oh, I found my notes on those myths. These would have been the rest:
