I get the theory (I think) but have great trouble understanding what this is like from the perspective of the character being drawn in. Does a band of Orlanthi thanes out patrolling their tula suddenly get the urge to ride off and attack some solar types who they just know are there..or what? Is their free will taken over in some way?
I think its usually a bit more subtle than that. The universe sort of sets things up in such a way that the two opposing groups have good reasons for performing the heroquests. Neither sees themselves as being drawn into anything at all, they just wind up opposing each other as part of the natural course of events.
