That should read "belonging to a Red Goddess/Rufelza myth", and even that can't really make a non-Lunar suspicious. The White Moon will still be Sedenya, in the form of Dayzenera(sp?). Even the serious White Moonies have to extrapolate from what they know about the other moons (Blue Orogeria, Rufelza) to arrive at Dayzenera. Studies of the darkening of the moon doesn't necessarily convey insights about brightening it. Studying the transformation from black to blue and on from blue to red might be more useful.
The trouble with this approach is the visible absence of a meaningful blue moon before 1247 (Moonrise). Having to face allies (or worse, themselves) in the quest doesn't really give a clue, either. Being aided by themselves in a station where they normally would have to face their mirrors (there is such a station in the Lightbringers' Quest) might make them curious. But as we know next to nothing about the Seven Mothers Quest (apart from "Pelorian Rhapsody" and Chris Gidlow's "Seleric Verses", on Nick's Website), I suspect the non-Lunar Gloranthans will be even less informed. A Lhankor Mhy sage with the speciality of Lunar metaphysics? Unlikely. (Say "Irrippi Ontor"...)
I wonder whether a Wendarian Dance quest (Pelorian visiting of the Green Age) in Pavis would interact with the native Green Age stuff. Wrong Otherworld, to start with, but then if you go back far enough in the Green Age, there is no such separation.
Oh, and take discussion of this to the Digest...
