Gian made an interesting comment on Heroes.

My own take is different. Not all heroes have a "purpose greater than themselves". Harak, for example, is a hero. But his only purpose (AFAIK) is personal power and wealth; likewise Sheng Seleris.

I think that a hero is anybody who is venerated and followed by others. Jar-Eel is a hero because she has a warband that thinks she is the greatest thing since Yara Aranis and the people of the Empire adore her and call her a Hero.

Thorm, the ancestor of the Blueberry clan in the Culbrea is a hero because every year people follow the path he took through the Heroplane invoking his name and memory to get those really tasty blueberries.
