Would it make you happier if I cited from Beowulf, Volsungsaga, Egil's Saga, Njal's Saga, the Shahnama, the Mahabharata (admittedly I am only really familiar with the Bhagavad Gita), or the Upanishads for heroic misdeeds? I admit I find your desire to have pure unsullied progressive heroes in an age of heroic and mythic struggle perplexing - but that is an aesthetic choice.

Have you actually read History of the Heortling Peoples, Middle Sea Empire, or Enclosure 1 or 2? Or how about Orlmarthingsaga or Taming of Dragon Pass? Can you even spot the difference between what Greg wrote and what I wrote in materials we co-wrote?
