[Glorantha] Outlawry, a wider perspective

[Orlanth Umathi]

If we pull back from the narrow focus on Orlanthi outlaws, we can see 
them as part of a wider problem in Orlanthi society: legitimacy.

 From a Meta-Myth angle Orlanth is a rebel king who took his right to 
rule by force. Many of orlanth's problems stem from this "might is 
right" premise.

 From this wider angle we have some excellent themes for roleplay, none 
of which have simple answers: -

Can violence solve social problems?
Is there such thing as an unjust law?
Is kingship divine?
Are cheiftens legitimate arbiters of law?
Do cheiftens have to abide by law?
Do clans have the right to outlaw individuals?
Is severing ties with kin akin to murder?
Are Thralls kin?
Can an outlaw be "healed"?
