Thanks, Jeff Okamoto, for the information on "Gods of Glorantha".  I agree
completely about the difficulty of writing new Glorantha cults, having tried
it a few times.  The research required is staggering!  Easier just to come
up with an entirely separate mythology.  Given that you are designing your
own world, though, the cults are pretty easy.  Let's face it, players are
more interested in making their own myths than in hearing about old ones
anyway.  Most of the material in a "complete" cult write-up is of interest
only to the referee.

Glad Avalon Hill is finally living up to their contractual requirements to
RQ, which were to produce four supplements a year.  So what were two of the
supplements for the first year?  Character sheets!  I haven't seen the
contracts, but that certainly seems like a breach of the spirit.  Gods of
Glorantha should go a long way towards making that up.
