[Glorantha] Yinkin, Schroedinger's Alynx

[Rob Helm]

Thanks to all who responded to my query about what
Yinkin did in the Great Darkness. I think I've decided
that he did actually die sometime after he aided
Orlanthi in the Darkness, and he was nailed to the
wall in the Underworld. He snuck back ahead of the
Lightbringers somehow and pretended to greet them on
their return as if nothing had happened. I'm not sure
why he did this -- maybe just to save face, or to
tweak Elmal (who seems to be a bit of a stuffed
shirt).

I know that Gloranthan mythologies don't have to be
consistent, taken as a whole. I just wanted my Yinkini
character to have a consistent personal story about
what she believed that Yinkin did in the Great
Darkness. I preferred that her story be consistent
with orthodox Orlanthi mythology (which has Yinkin
dead when Orlanth reaches the court of the Emperor in
the Underworld), because Yinkin mythologically is very
loyal to Orlanth, and is Orlanth's half-brother.
