Re: On the Infinite Worlds Setting and Cabal-style Cosmology
IIRC, Cabal brings up the existence of different versions of the "same" god [Poseidon Earthshaker vs Poseidon HorseSomething] but leaves it as a mystery and implies that there are a lot of theories but no one really knows. Cabal, in general, has a lot of there are mysterious things and people have many different theories about them.

Re: On the Infinite Worlds Setting and Cabal-style Cosmology
The canonical answer is never overtly spelled out, but the vignettes and other ancillary information strongly imply that the different "versions" of mythical characters variously can be aware or unaware of one another, and "forgotten" versions dwell in increasingly remote places but can remain quite potent when correctly invoked.
IOW, it can be different for each version of each god and for each world, and even the gods themselves can't dictate what goes for another. |

Incidentally, thiis whole issue shows the partial non-overlap of Cabal worlds/places with Infinity conveyor addresses. You don't get to Yetziah (the Cabal version of the Astral Plane) or Briah (the Iconic Realm) in a conveyor. Then there's the 10 (or is it 11?) Houses of the Sephiroth and similar places which may or may not be part of the Yetziroth/Briah system.

Re: On the Infinite Worlds Setting and Cabal-style Cosmology
In my last IW story arc, the I-SWAT team assigned to save the multiverse from total annihilation had to seek the assistance of the Cabal in order to get access to worlds that Infinity had no clue about. The Cabal had access to space travel with TL 12 craft and robot pilots. The difficulty in using the Cabal's methods is that their coordinates for worlds are magical, and do not translate into parachronic coordinates. Also, depending on the faction of Cabalists, transport magic might work differently. In the case of my adventure, they gained a lot of their magic from the Yith. This meant that in order to power a Teleport or Planeshift spell, you had to dump 8 pints of blood onto the Teleport circle. Other factions might have a spell with less demanding components, but that depends on how easy you want travel to be.
