This sounds both ugly and wrong. People have quested in the Green Age and nothing of the above dire consequences have happened. The changes that Green Age heroquesting bring about are of the sort that the Orlanthi wake up with a splitting headache and see a Big Red Moon in the sky. The changes do not mean that the Orlanthi believe that the Big Red Moon has always been visible in the sky.
