Godlearners are bad anthropologists. They got it right in that extant cultures in Glorantha have common roots in ancestral myths because they expanded from one population as they became others. What they failed to do is take into account that the people they were loving with were a living culture, so their beliefs and changed myths were also true. Their victims weren't Jrusteli/Godlearners so they didn't matter and were wrong by default.

The belief was since all these current groups share a common ancestral myth, that's the truth. Not that the truth is what is being lived by the people who worship those gods.
