No I used Storm, Fire, Earth, Sea, Darkness, Moon and I can't count.....

I dunno about SAGA. I used seven gods from each pantheon rated from seven down to one. Each reflected the power of his pantheon intervening in the Quest and also his/her personal concerns. So (if I remember right) Etyries was both a three point Lunar power and Trade. I did vary the number of cards from each suit depending on where the quest was in the Otherworld.
