I believe I have officially fallen into the proverbial deep end, because I have recently read some parts of King of Sartar So there are two events that come to mind: 1. Orlanth killed Yelm and caused the Storm Age and Lesser Darkness. But that resulted in serious problems for mortals, culminating in the Great Darkness and the need to bring Yelm back. 2. Argrath (or a bunch of heroquesters under his name) took down the Red Moon and also killed Wakboth, causing the 4th Age. The people from the 4th Age seem to describe a world constantly getting worse and lacking magic, which sounds analogous to the Storm Age and the Lesser Darkness to me. If the Red Moon is the embodiment of the Moon Rune and Wakboth is the embodiment of the Chaos Rune, then would this not be removing two things that Glorantha really needs to function? Without Moon Magic there might no longer the regular maintenance of the Mortal Realm and its laws of reality by connecting it to the God Time. Without Chaos there might no longer be a source of energy and mass for Glorantha itself - since all originated from Chaos in the first place. The 4th Age is probably not headed for a "Darkness" but it may at least be headed for some kind of other un-survivable condition, like a magical version of heat death of the universe, and lack of any new souls to inhabit newborn mortals, and inability of anyone to do anything heroic to fix anything. Am I approaching Illumination about Glorantha's fate in the case that King of Sartar occurs as written, or am I way off-base here? Would the 4th-Agers then need to do a heroquest of the Moonchaosbringers to restore habitability again? Of course creating someone other than Wakboth to be the embodiment of the Chaos Rune might be nice.

Events I've noticed: 0. The Book of Heortling Mythology, pages 158 & 159 - Says that Redalda married Elmal. The book also contains the brief summary of Redaylde marrying Beren. 1. Six Ages: Ride Like The Wind - The portrayal of the courtship of Beren and Redalda. Beren is portrayed as Elmali, and thus explains both of the stories of Redalda within the Book of Heortling Mythology. 2. Six Ages: Lights Going Out - The portrayal of Beren and Redalda as mythic figures who are now outside of normal time. People who knew them when they were mortal (it would be spoilers to explain how you can have these people) definitely notice this. 3. Edge of Empire, pages 36 & 37: After The Dragonkill. This would have been at least 1120's ST. Redaylda, also called Redaylde Redmane, offered her hand to suitors again. This resulted in Laram winning and founding the Laramite tribe. Laram also recovered the Golden Bridle of Beren. Was the third event a Heroquest of Laram going to the God's Time to meet Redaylda? Or was there a second Redaylda who got merged onto the first one as part of a Heroquest? Or something else going on here? Could the Laramites mythologically take more stuff from the Berenethelli? Like what if they tried to rebuild the walls of Berenstead on top of where Barnborn is right now, would they have the mythological lineage to do so? I imagine that anyone could attempt to do so, but only some would actually get a bonus or additional hero points for the attempt.
