And at a guess, if you did the HeroPlane version, but in "every" tribe
(yes, I know, this would take a while), you'd end up with a different
version of the story in every tribe? So while the basic principle might
remain the same, details would vary wildly?
It now occurs to me that this is a pretty good description of most basic
Orlanthi myths! Each clan has their own variation, don't they?
