Well, I'm surprised. I won't name it here as it might Spoil things for others (and your players if they read this), but it was pretty obvious to me. Yes, it's an unusual variant, but it's clear what it's a variant *of*.

Oh, yes! And when each clan has its own myths anyway, and different takes on comon myths, there's huge amounts of variation.

I was actually wondering if they recognised *which* HQ they were on. Obviously not, then. When I did something similar to my players, one of them did recognise what was going on just after it had happened (shortly after "killing" "Yelm" with a stolen sword and saying "oops").
