Fair enough, I guess I was actually objecting against the argument I've
heard which goes: "Such and such a god isn't worshipped very much, they must
be a great spirit". I suppose I'm also not 100% sure on how a mythological
interaction between a great spirit and a god lines up with the fact that
gods now live on the god plane and spirits inhabit the spirit plane.
Using Thed as an example was plain wrong :-(
In my defense, all my RQ2 & 3 is locked up in storage in the UK whilst I
rebuy duplicates on ebay during my ex-pat exile in Japan; anyone know of a
copy of G:CotHW for sale?
