Give that man a tick on his Sopt Hidden AND his Read New Pelorian! I think you're
onto something here. I have also wondered about the appearances of the gods at Castle Blue. Specific followers of Carmanian cults appearing as avatars for their gods makes sense. Having said that though, you continue the sentence above as:

> and ones who had given the 7M a head start in heroquesting,
>rather than the deity itself.

Who are you referring to? I know it says in the Zero Wane History that "a horse tribe shaman, who was probably in the constpiracy as well, ambushed and wounded the Carmanian wargod (Humakt)/" This raises two points to me:
1) does this sentence still hang true if the shaman had just ambushed a hero-quetor?
2) This statement means that there were more than just the 7 accepted mothers, rather a whole gaggle of them, with only the most powerful being noted in history.

Regards,
Dom.
