I see what you are saying. That is a cool idea. We could throw something in there about Magnus and Baish having a feud, years before over Ambrosia.

I don't want to write our own version of the greek myths, but is there anything from our characters' histories that could be transposed into a mythological epic tale? For example, Baish once gave up godhood, and Magnus & Celane have a relationship - can we make "spun" versions of these histories that would translate into myths? > > I thought we had discussed this.
