What City you you kind Sirs say that the Sanctuary Boxed Set was good to be used as? Was it Refuge?

Correct! (IIRC)

Karse is The City of Carse (1980). 

And, of course, there's the Bat-Man in Life of Moonson. 

😉

No. 
Bats are creatures of Mahaquata the Bat, Goddess of Death in Dara Happa. 
See Pavis: Gateway to Adventure p. 324 for The Black Bat mask. 

You should start with The Smoking Ruin, which covers the Wild Temple and surrounding area.

I played a Troll from the Pyrenees in a long running RQ3 campaign back in the day. 

You might want to read 13th Age Glorantha p. 290 where the Black Horse Troop is described. 
Taking a Black Horse for yourself is similar to stealing an SSBN from the USN. 😉

Do the pages in the pdf take unusually long to load for anyone else? 

Not with GoodReader on my iPad.

What you really want to look at is the Kraken Chapbook "Forgotten Secrets of Glorantha" by Sandy Petersen.  However, I don't see it available anymore on the Chaosium website. 

I popped to say the same thing, so I went searching for it. It's not on the Jonstown Compendium either, which is the logical place for it to be these days. The Kraken chapbooks are all excellent. 

I own both. The GW edition got reorganised in a way that made it harder to follow. The AH edition isn’t durable, being soft books in a box.

Like it how Australia at least gets a mention. Does anybody know that we, in New Zealand even exist?

Yes, but EnZed orders are fulfilled from the Oz warehouse. It takes less than 6 months in a leaky boat that way. They are fulfilled with a yellow Mini. 
😉

There’s a picture of Jason at the Black Monk warehouse in Poland celebrating the arrival of the RQG Starter Set. 

[Here it is...]

I was sad that RuneQuest Classic QuestWorlds failed to fund, but I hope they'll get around to it eventually. I still have my original print edition, so there's no hurry. I really like the convenience of having RQC PDFs on my iPad, that's all. 

I'd like to see the RQ3 & especially RQ Renaissance products too, and I expect we'd all put those before RQC QuestWorlds.

it seems I missed something... "Urox", "uroxi" aren't a name of storm bull(er) any more ?

The word Urox doesn’t appear in any of my RQ:G PDFs so far. It appears in my 13G PDF a lot. I use it all the time in my 13G campaign.

YGWV 😉

The Rune spell is used by Priests, etc., the Spirit Magic spell is used by Shamans, etc., 

I’m sure Chaosium knows, yes. 

I’m recruiting again. Two players in USA time zones got character generation done but haven’t been able to make any sessions. C’est la vie. 
The party is 4th level, 24 adventures done, Storm Bull, Rebel, Zorak Zorani, Monk, Ranger. If you’re in a time zone suitable for Sydney time, please consider trying it.

it's my impression that the dream dragon THINKS it is the goddess / demigoddess.

Yerezum Storn received worship under the EWF, and it demanded it of my players in 13th Age Glorantha, but the Orlanthi had sworn oaths to King Berevenenos, and the Uz had accepted the mission from Sarna Ya'qal, so that came to naught. 

The Uz Monk of Sky River Titan captured the spirit of Yerezum Storn in his shield of tears, which I'm sure will not have complications at all. 😉

As i understand the Dragon of Thunder Hills and the Glorantha Bestiary,  it's a dream dragon.  A dragon is not a god, and has an undefined relationship with the Great Compromise.   A dream dragon is even more not-a-god.  As a lesser and temporary being the dream dragon gets to exist in Time.  And then at some point it "fades". 

Orgorvale Summer is the goddess. She's a demigod, granddaughter of Orlanth and Ernalda.

In my 13th Age Glorantha game, she emerged from the Queens Tomb like Janet Webb at the end of The Morecambe & Wise Show to thank her liberators in person.

Theya: This Jumper appears in the eastern sky. It brightens from dim to piercing, then vanishes, encompassed by the rising Sun. She appears about 4 hours before Dawn in all seasons, and is sometimes visible for up to an hour after sunrise. She jumps the same distance into the sky every night. Theya first appeared shortly before the Dawn, and is recognized as the harbinger of the reborn Sun. Each morning she opens the Dawn Gate in preparation for his return to the world.

Recover Spirit is not written up in the ash can preview of Cults of Glorantha (2019 GenCon edition) either, but is mentioned in the list of Rune Magic available to the Gardeners in that same preview book.

Thanks for checking! I just searched my PDFs on my iPad and I don’t have that one. 

Guide to Glorantha p.31

Quote

The Orlanthi are widely known as the Theyalan culture by outsiders and scholars. The name was given by the God Learners and is taken from the native name for the goddess of the Dawn, Theya, because this seminal culture was so important in the Dawn Age. Although most of the outside world still calls them Theyalans, they usually call themselves Orlanthi, after their own chief god.

Glorantha Sourcebook p.131 (IMHO the waiting star is Theya)

Quote

The reborn gods reached the edge of the world at the place now called Theya's Gate. There a star waited for them, and even the Darkness was glad to see them. The flush of Dawn, the rosy goddess, came. Arachne Solara stood upon the Gate of Time and cast her net across the universe, catching each surviving thing and binding it into the new world. Her child was born then, concealed by the net and protected by the strands. The child was called Time. The gods marched across the barren world, bringing warmth, light, and flower to awed survivors.

I’ve noted it in the Red Book of Magic corrections thread. 
Edit: Noted in the RuneQuest Rules Q&A thread as instructed. 

The Gardener subcult of Aldrya spell Recover Spirit is missing. 

This is the Shanassee Tree on page 51? It’s Special Rune Magic of the Gardener Subcult of Aldrya in RQ:G Bestiary, page 26. 
It’s in Cults of Prax, page 104 of my RQC PDF.

Recover Spirit

3 points

Duration instantaneous, Range touching corpse, Reusable.

Useful only on Aldrya cultists, this spell must be used within one day of death. Within that time the priest may meet the victim's spirit on the spirit plane and force it back to its body if the priest succeeds in one round of spirit combat with the departing spirit. But after one day, the spirit will have left the influence of the Great Trees, and the spell will not work. The body first must be Healed to positive hit points. A roll of 96-00 results in the priest finding the wrong spirit to put back in the body. Use the Daka Fal Random Ancestor Chart to determine the replacement spirit found.
