This is something that happened in my game, and I'm wondering how canon /
non-canon it is.
A humakti was resting/communing in a sacred place (and elven grove
dedicated to the Taker, in fact) and became drawn as an adversary into a
Zorak Zorani HeroQuest. After soundly beating the Zorak Zorani quester,
(cutting off his hand and feeding it to his black shadowcat in fact) the
Humakti was in the underworld. The humakti in question was a powerful
deciple, and since Humakt rules much of the underworld I thought that
wasn't such a bad place to be for him. The humakti had been communing with
his God to find out in which direction to proceed. He knew there was a
(dream)dragon of death near the edge of the elven forest, and had been
trying to sense where it's nest would be.
I thought that the nesting site a death dragon (a manifestation of the
Raven Banner, and a place where the Banner itself lay) would also qualify
for a temple spot, and hence a potential opening into the Underworld.
The humakti sensed where he was going and travelled the rest of the way
through the underworld, and came out at the dragon's nesting site.

Is that supposed to be possible? To physically enter the heroplane
(underworld) somewhere, and to exit it elsewhere. My current understanding
of Glorantha seems to say it is possible, but I'll be happy to get some
feedback. It is also possible, of course, that physically the humakti
walked from the edge of the forest to the mountains in the mundane world,
while in his perception he was walking through the Underworld.
