I agree. Though does point 4 mean that there should be *less* variation from the "written" myth on the quest? I'd like to still keep some room for the odd surprise for the heroes.

I especially agree with point 5. Only devotees/people who have *really* studied their god's myths should know the "full version" with all the secrets. You know, the one that all us players know... :)
