A couple of crossed messages pointed out good ways to handle this. Also, in my game it would be possible for initiates to receive a gift before becoming a Sword. You just couldn't do this when you feel like (like Swords can), but would be granted this privilege by your temple.

What gives you this idea? They're a Pelorian culture. This is abundantly evident from Greg's unpublished or semipublished* works, but even in published material, they're an empire incorporating the old Dara Happan empire in its entirety, and that's surely enough to outweigh any Theyalan provinces like Aggar.

Remember that Greg has said at one of the RQ-Cons that in Dara Happan mythology, there's no Compromise. This alone should give a different slant to Lunar heroquesting.
