What I think (and what do I know!) is that a HQ set in the Great Darkness (or any other age) can take place on either the Hero Plane or on the God Plane (see http://issaries.com/hw/heroquesting.html for Greg's latest thoughts). The difference is whether the heroes choose to:

• Act as faceless followers/observers - Hero Plane, low resistances.
• Act as major particpants/leaders/deities - Hero Plane, resistances between slightly more than and a mastery above their ability ratings (they do have community support and a stack of HPs don't they).
• Directly interact with the deities - Theistic otherworld, resistances of w5 and above.
