That is (supposedly) a Gold Wheel Dancer, which was part of the First Council well before they contacted the remains of Dara Ni and Dara Happa. I cannot get to my copy of the Cradle scenario; is it confirmed there that Pinchining is a GWD or was that the RQ/Glorantha Digest conclusion?
Garrath says: “I am told it is a creature from ages gone past; his kind are no more. It came to life in the underworld because an ignorant creature worshipped what everyone thought was dead.” That ignorant creature was Urrgh the Ugly, who is present in the body of Blorn the statue. The story how he worshiped his hoard of gold is in the annals of the Temple of the Wooden Sword.
So yes, it is deduction rather than explicit information, but everybody agrees.
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
Can’t remember if I asked this before, but what’s the deal with the giant pig? Pet, meal, wet nurse, all of the above?
Wet nurse first, meal much later on, when the first teeth come out.
I prefer the Illuminated Glorantha answer: the pig is the REAL passenger; the baby is just there for comfort and warmth.
I hope the Lunar heroes, best heroes anywhere, rescue it quickly from those perverse degenerates. Extremely bad foster parents! Always covfefe
Yelm’s wheel is a bit unreliable, isn’t it?

Thank you very much, wise men.
Then, that is a living thing. I saw the last of the great tribes die.
Keep watching 😉
Well, the voodoo chains didn’t work. I’m not seeing a bunch of bamboo boats stopping anything…
I mean…if by not working you mean they broke the protective magic of the Cradle? Then yeah….
