True enough, and one of the things that made the Ten Princes an awesome bunch. (Does anyone else think that a campaign set in Khordavu's Dara Happa would be a hoot?

How do we know this? Isn't that like saying that no one does the Lightbringer's Quest because the sun is still in the sky? Or that there's no point in questing to Alaramsur's Hall because Rastalulf already got the Vanak Spear?
(Rastalulf story reference - shameless plug for Enclosure II - available from your nearest Reaching Moon Megacorp supplier! It's got a cool section on Aggari tribesfolk, and further inspirational bits about those loveable Alkothi. Order yours today!)
Although the Dara Happans were not known to be big, innovative heroquesters in the Orlanthi sense, you can bet that every year in Raibanth there are large rituals and ceremonies that commemorate the Recovery of the Orb. LIke the Orlanthi, those DH's who consider themselves decended of the hero who did this feat would remember it well and be able to weave part of his magic. More modern Lunar heroquesters certainly have this quest in their primer "101Stunningly Successful Visits to the Other Side".
There's a great story to be found in that Antirian heroquest...
