How could they know the Heroquests of Valind if they are not initiated? 'Merely' joining a cult is a prerequisite to learning its quests and secrets.

I hope i didn't make the impression of saying that that is always the case. Far from - most cults do not share myths to such an extent that every ritual is a joint venture. Some myths (of the pantheon gods at least) _are_ shared and celebrated in cooperative rituals.
