I think you mean that a person or party can enter into the Gods War, aka HeroPlane, and participate int he actins there.

Your guys just want to romp in the Gods War?

Yea, they can do that.
It sounds to me like you are gogn ot an event, butnot participating as the characters.

You are right.
They have to get into the God War where the myth took place. Usual barriers, etc.
Then they can act, and the others in the myth can react. Of course, since there are no parameters to help guide anyting then anything can happen.

BTW, our server is still screwed up and so I may not even see replies to this reply. Sorry.
