Based on my propensity to accumulate unread books, and assuming I am not alone in that, my dumb theory is that the Devil is trapped beneath the collective tsundoku of Gloranthaphiles everywhere. The Block is just the paperweight on top. You might say it is the weight of lore, not Law, keeping the Devil in his place. I'll get my coat...

This is on display in the Asia Gallery in the British Museum. Apologies for the reflections.

Thanks for the answers. Nick, I was a bit slow on the uptake with this, but very true 😀 metcalph and mfbrandi, thanks for pointing me to Daroria. I had missed that. A follow-up question if you don't mind. From Daroria's entry in The Prosopaedia, "She has always been present, but humans did not perceive her until the late Second Age. She was revealed to be the divine power behind the lesser goddesses of Dara Happa". What happened?

Is Creator still part of the Lunar pantheon? It appeared in the old RQ3 Gods of Glorantha, https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/gloranthan-documents/prosopaedia/deities/c/creator/, but I could not find It in the wonderful, new Cults of Runequest: The Prosopaedia.

The mythic maps in Mythology are great and they do have some intriguing differences from the God Learner maps in the Guide. I spotted that, but was wondering if perhaps the Enrovalini are now the Magicians with the Kachasti the Philosophers. Another difference I found is for the Early Lesser Darkness map, where the description of The Ten Thousand Wondrous Isles (print p.91, PDF p.95) combines that for the Wondrous Isles with part of the Tadeniti from p.686 of the Guide. Any idea why the source for The Ten Thousand Wondrous Isles is "IM"?

Gloranthan Cosmology on p.12-13. Not sure if these are intentional or not, but: "The Underworld" is listed on p.13, but is not explicitly marked in the diagram on p.12. Neither the "Godswar Oceanic Bulge" nor the "Godswar Hell Bulge" are described on p.13. p.84. "Kingdom of Logic. Also called the Kingdom of Logic,...", should that be "Kingdom of Logic. Also called the Kingdom of the West,..."?
