I think this could be made to work anyway, mind you; retroactive
HeroQuesting, yadda-yadda. But they already are (at least near-)
contemporaries -- Vinga is the daughter of Orlanth[*], and Jorganos is
one of his grandsons. Yes, Vinga is a deity and Jorganos isn't, AFAIK,
but the distinction is somewhat vague and non-crucial. After all,
Vingkot is a "human hero", whereas Hedkoranth is a "deity", but that
hardly makes the former less impressive or important than the latter,
AFAICS.
Slainte,
Alex.
