I think this could be made to work anyway, mind you; retroactive HeroQuesting, yadda-yadda. But they already are (at least near-) contemporaries -- Vinga is the daughter of Orlanth[*], and Jorganos is one of his grandsons. Yes, Vinga is a deity and Jorganos isn't, AFAIK, but the distinction is somewhat vague and non-crucial. After all, Vingkot is a "human hero", whereas Hedkoranth is a "deity", but that hardly makes the former less impressive or important than the latter, AFAICS. Slainte,
Alex.
