Such as? And why would Pavis be interested in such a cult? The purpose of his cult is the City, not to explore strange new worlds or promote the cause of pan-Heortling nationalism. Whatever next? Giving Zola Fel cultists a Kung fu affinity to defend themselves against raiders?

Again for what purpose? Heroquests aren't carried out to obtain personal benefit. Why didn't the hero actually carry out a quest to actally benefit the City. Y'know like drive the trolls out of the Rubble, cleanse the Devil's playground etc.

You are part of Pavis when you became initiated. Still doesn't allow you to cast magic beyond Pavis's boundaries.
