Cult of Gorgorma

Hi guys, my last post got some very informative answers which I appreciated so I'm back for more. I've got a player in my game of Runequest Glorantha in the cult of Gorgorma, admittedly because I pointed out the similarities to the Storm Bull she wanted to play, but it fit better with a Solar Pantheon group (mainly Yelmalio cultists, but also Yelm and Yelorna). I've searched around and collected some meager information about Gorgorma's mythic role in Glorantha but was wondering if there is more anywhere? This player is also looking likely to be the first Rune Level in the party so I'm especially keen on godtime myths I might be able to work into heroquests, and ideas for allied spirits and trials to get one.

 

My impression of the cult is that it's a particularly small one, probably maintained mostly by associated worship from Dendara cultists and temples. My player has particularly taken to the Defender aspect of Gorgorma, taking the Yelornan cultist 'under her wing' so to speak, to ensure she can maintain the purity required for eventually gaining a Unicorn, and passions related to that aspect of the goddess, but I'm interested in anything to do with her. The only mythic story I found so far is about Gorgorma and Dendara playing chess each evening in Yelm's palace, and something about Gorgorma being rejected as Yelm's bride 'because she had to be rejected' which I haven't quite got my head around yet.

 

Thoughts, opinions much appreciated as well as further sources of Gorgorma lore to read. Thanks.
