Levels of Legend

Question: Just curious, what has been your process to determine whether certain canon gods (IE: Dian Cecht) didn't make the Legend 12 cut while others that you added (IE: Hathor) have made it?

This question is addressed in detail in an older blog post back here, but its presence points out to me that this blog really needs a search function. I'll see if I can whip one up some time today.

Most basically, Dian Cecht is out because he has only one strong associated power we can see (Health) and only one story, making him likely to be a lower-Legend god. Hathor, on the other hand, features in several Egyptian myths, had an exceptionally strong cult presence and can easily be said to have several associated purviews and Epic Attributes, making her much more likely to be Legend 12.

Edit: There is now a search box for the blog over on the right, under the polls and above the donation button. Yay!

Edit 2: The search box apparently doesn't work. Working on it. Booo.

Edit 3: New search box now works, but I don't like it. Still pending more tinkering.

Edit 4: Why do you hate searching, Google? Isn't that your thing? Search box now mostly works. I'll keep an eye on it in the future.
