It occurred to me last night that the Seven Mothers may well have swapped their Lightbringing roles within the quest at different stages.

At different places in the quest YT takes the part of Orlanth, Eurmal or Issaries. That'd imply that no single mapping is correct.

Another interesting point is that in the Lightbringers Quest Orlanth is very much the chief and leader, whereas in the Seven Mothers quest, Danfive taking the part of Orlanth doesn't seem to have been anything of a leader. Of course, that could just be Orlanthi/Heortling spin on things.

Either way, add Nick's comment that there was a lot more to the Seven Mothers quest than a simple(?) LBQ and it all implies that there can't have been _that_ much of a parallel between the two quests.
