Sounds good to me. I didn''t see anything wrong with the syopses anyway. So Orlanth got beaten up by a chaos god at some point? Well, he wouldn't be alone in that and they are supposed to be rather tough or they wouldn't be capable of destroying the world. Does it make him look bad? Not really - he survived, hundreds didn't. Maybe there was more to his decision to fix the world then sitting down and having a think - maybe he had that think after being beaten around the head a bit. I don't see the problem - a GM could even possibly adapt it to 3rd age - the Sartarites wouldn't want the lunars getting old of this now would they?
