Editing Broo (section)

===Myth Origins===
Broo are the mortal children of the goddess [[Thed]], and were originally another race in the world just like any other. Thed was a somewhat powerful goddess that created and ruled them. The recent events of that time were that the God of Justice and resident Odin/Zeus-expy [[Orlanth]] had killed the God-Emperor (not [[Emperor of Mankind|that one]]) Yelm and taken control of the pantheon in order to save creation. Orlanth was new to the whole "justice" thing though, this being a very primitive age of the world before codified written law resulting in Orlanth basically inventing the idea as he went, so when Thed came to him and claimed to have been raped, Orlanth simply allowed her to name her assailant and choose whatever punishment she felt was justice. She named Orlanth's own insane brother [[Ragnaglar]] (who had been thrown into something known as the "Sex Pit" during the revolution against Yelm, which had shattered his mind). Orlanth likely would have just dismissed the case had he known his brother was the guilty party before giving his word. Depending on the version of this story Ragnaglar was already her husband and father of the Broo before he committed marital rape against her, or was just referred to thereafter as her "husband" due to the crime and primitive societal ideas with the Broo as the product of the event; either way his rape was brutal and inflicted stabbing wounds on her that never healed which were her evidence of the crime, and the Broo were born into the world originally uncorrupted before the violence against Thed damaged their nature. 

Thed chose to become the Goddess of Rape as punishment for the accused and transformed the Broo into a race of rapists to inflict her suffering on the rest of the world, forcing all of creation to confront the hidden shame and openly admit "rape is bad" (remember that this is prehistory, when the monolith is still inspiring monkeys to use tools, of course in that time rape was already considered bad and always has been soooo...). This is due to the concept of Justice in the world at the time being a personal affair between victim, criminal, and monarch which was based entirely on revenge rather than making an example to society of the ramifications of criminal behavior coupled with Thed blaming society as a whole rather than just Ragnaglar. Thed's choice as a result begins the concept of justice being something involving a community rather than just an eye for an eye as well as forcing the concept of justice being to ''prevent'' wrongdoing rather than just to make both parties suffer equally. 

Ragnaglar continued his descent into madness independent of Thed's new Portfolio, and corrupted the very idea of sex which had previously only been a beautiful thing for the creation of offspring (note that despite this, rape still existed as Ragnaglar's was not treated as the first). Basically inventing the idea of [[/d/|fetishism]], he had sex with anything he could stick his penis inside from animal to unliving (and dead) things all of which somehow produced offspring; this trait was passed onto the Broo, who now had an '''extreme''' of lust and could impregnate everything from men to rocks and dirt. 

Thed's own descent into madness took a more controlled route; she formed a triumvirate of evil with Ragnaglar and the Fertility Goddess [[Mallia]] (depending on storyteller they either corrupted Mallia willingly or kidnapped and raped/tortured her until she went mad; either way she became the Grim Reaper of the setting, her fertility coming to represent disease and old age as well as all gross and unfortunate deaths). The three insane gods planned to take control of the pantheon and rule the world their own way, and had a three-way which caused Thed to give birth to the literal fucking Devil named [[Wakboth]] (who corrupted her from within, turning her legitimately evil rather than Chaotic Neutral) which either created Chaos or gave it an incarnation (once again depending on storyteller). The four divines became the first completely evil beings in the setting. Wakboth killed Ragnaglar so that he would never have siblings to rival him, and coerced/raped his mother to produce servants to lead the Broo legions as he destroys the world. 

It should be noted that Wakboth is described as existing prior to this in some accounts, and its suggested that in-universe there was a saying that "Rape is his mother, Madness is his father, Disease was his midwife" and that the expression became literal and applied to gods as it was handed down orally over generations (remember that Glorantha lore is from an in-universe perspective, and after many hundreds of generations the oral mythology warps and merges with other myths). Wakboth is also called Kajabor, although some lore treats the two as different entities with Wakboth killing Kabajor after he devoured forgotten gods.

After the great war between the beings of good and evil, Wakboth was defeated but not before he raped Glorantha itself (AKA Earth). He was killed, sent to hell, and was reborn as Time when the gods decided to stop being crazy assholes and live by a set of rules; Time himself keeps the gods from the mortals, and provides them immortality as long as they don't interfere directly in Glorantha. 

Thed was skinned alive (but not killed) by Kyger Litor, the goddess that brought order and rules to the forces of evil, and was then later defeated by Polestar, god of the sky and astronomy as well as some magic, which shattered her. Currently Thed exists all over the world as she was spread to its corners and is kept alive solely by the worship of the Broo. Although still their fucking insane rape goddess, she isn't involved in any evil actions anymore and some lore suggests she has come to represent fertility and some aspects of civilization as most of the various deities of the world become less a bunch of godlike savages and more a group of cultured divine beings.
