Ok course people/characters don't have to know they are on a HQ. You may find some fantastic lost treatise, or fight a baboon shaman and war band. These may all be heroquests in that the beings are unknowingly involved in a recreation of events that their Gods did. In one sense, one could say that since the Dawn there has been nothing new except some momentus events which, because they didn't follow an existing (even if unknown) path, became momentus. Every other thing that happens is just a recreation of some (normally your own) God's path.
In line with our trickster article, this could be the reason for the cosmic compromise - the Gods really were not giving up any power in that the mortals were really just following in known paths. The exceptions show the cases where the old gods really do intervene (including Castle Blue).
Ahh, I can see a new religion in this!
