If people are acting on the Godplane then it happens in Godtime.

Since followers of Issaries get all the feats and affinities I can't see why a major hero like Etyries should not. What she did was to make the step from hero to god. Precisely how that works I'm not sure but it seems to make the individual a resident of the god plane, possibly by merging them with a pre-existing god.

Yes.

Yes.

We don't know he was Pelorian, I may be being influenced by old RQ stuff but he seems to be mythically much closer to LM than Busarian. Could be something else entirely.
