What precedent? Where? The only rituals for entering the HeroPlane that I have seen have all been Divine Magic, like the Seven Stones Ritual that Londra of Londros (from Chaosium's house campaign) had. I tried looking up any in Meints' Index last night and found none that I could recognize.

Or well enough defined. I still can't figure out what "Pious" is supposed to mean for an Orlanthi, or why Odin worshippers aren't (taking Egil Skallagrimson as a pious Odinite).

What part of North America? Here in Western Pennsylvania, a toasted cheese sandwich was cheese melted in an oven between and upper and lower slice, thus double toasting the outside.

I think we are proving that _Gbaji_ is as real and well defined as a toasted cheese sandwich, and, more importantly, vice versa. As for the rest of the Gloranthan divine species, we obviously need a new simile.
