I don't think I disagree with you Rob. It's just that any group that has a guardian or protective spirit or whatever is a "heroband". A clan is a "heroband". Many bloodlines are a "heroband". A warband is a "heroband" and many "temples" are best thought of as a "heroband". The Heortlings are a religious people who make sacrifices to many protective entities as well as to the gods of the Storm Tribe.
For a real world comparison, look at the various societies in the Roman Republic or Classical Athens. These societies would likely be "herobands" under the Heroquest rules.
