are right there. However, certain totems would lead very naturally to
following certain Passions. Shark is unlikey (I'd say UNABLE) to follow
Garlin, the passion of healing and peace. But since passions DON'T
exist in ED, it a non-issue. LOA, on the other hand, can be very
"passion like". And don't forget Otaku, and the work they do for "the
resonance"- are they "techno questors"?
What I see is as a set of Jungian architypes that manifest in many ways
in different ages.

You are wrong there. Most questors are adepts (ED term) who use thier
magic talents to further thier Passion's ends. In fact, players can not
usually become questors until thier magic is fairly strong.
