Pent is to the North (okay, the North-East, for Yolanela) and that's where she will find Sheng when he returns. BTW, I don't think Y necessarily knows who the "husband" she'll find up there will be, only that it whoever it is will be bad for her enemies.

Her children are described in The Guide to Glorantha, and are all adults (all born long before 1621). Even though Nick's story makes clear Yolanela is of somewhat advanced years, she definitely wants another child. My companion story to Nick's, The Son of Light Awakens, discusses that further (it is all about the reason why the envoy in Nick's story is sent with the message from Glamor he gives). Sadly, that tale seems to be missing from the archive where my old website is now housed. Sheng Seleris.

That is indeed the theme of the DreamQuest, the first of the SoloQuest adventures for RQ2: DreamQuest - Once upon a dream, your god appears to you. You are offered the opportunity to serve your god by defeating four foes in mortal combat. Step-by-step solo-melee combat rules for the detailed RuneQuest combat sequences are provided. https://www.chaosium.com/soloquest-classic-collection-pdf/
