[Runequest] Magical Home Court Advantage?

[Steve Perrin]

Haven't read the Percy Jackson series, but I know that many Olympian 
gods were especially followed in certain areas and neglected in others. 
Athena in Athens is a standout example, but there were many others. The 
Olympian pantheon was really just a mishmash of the all the local cults 
after the various cultures climbed out of their particular valleys and 
went trading.
