I'm still trying to wrap my head around heroquests. One thing that's getting me: it seems as if every example I read has the heroquest involving ancient heroes & gods--"Our ancestor, in the Dawn Age, fought the Jewelled Dragon of Five Dangers & saved our village." Now, the lunar religion isn't nearly that old, so I'm wondering about a hero in the 1620s doing a heroquest based on a Lunar hero or Lunar diety. Are all heroquests based on very old deeds, or are there more recent heroquests, & how do these figure with the Hero Plane and Gods War? For example, heroquests involving Yanafal Tarnils, Irippi Ontor, & Hwarin Dalthippa (all dieties that a figuring in my game in one way or another), or heroes of those dieties--how would those tie in to the Gods War?
