*Interesting*. So by altering a Lunar HeroQuest, the benefits accrued would be Lunar? Wouldn't the Humakti's connections to the Sword God benefit from reasserting the position of the Old Gods versus the New Immortals?

Dear Goddess, that's a frightening thought.
Now, providing this is all taking place in the Hero Planes - the Humakti going against the "Red Goddess" would be facing a Priestess of Sedenya who was experiencing the Teelo Estara's ReNativity during a Lunar Holy Day celebrations. Of course, this likely put him in a great deal more danger that going against a Yanafali - the Red Goddess priestess is likely to have more community support, and he's going into unknown/uncharted myth.
