Apart from heroes laying the foundation for their worship and Flesh Man in the Lightbringers' Quest, are there other myths with mortals and deities acting side by side in the original (Godtime) version (as opposed to heroquests where mortals take on the role of the deities in the myth)?

Vanyoramet at the Hill of Gold was a mortal taking the role of a deity, even though accompanied by/embodying Antirius.

Are there myths where mortal Vingkotlings and Storm Brothers went a-raiding or to war side by side? (or rather, should there be such myths?)

Orlanth's use of the Ring of the Vingkotlings in Luathela suggests his summoning a mortal army. Are there people who claim specific (or unspecified) ancestors' deeds in this battle? Similar for other of the multitude of battles and skirmishes of the Vingkotling era.
