And (given their track record with modules) I'm pretty confident that WotC won't give us a decent worked-out example any time soon.But the rules are there. Their foundation is the whole idea of the Epic Destiny as a guaranteed aspect of play rather than a goal for which the players have to strive and which the GM has a discretion to withhold (thus the great difference from the Immortals rules in earlier D&D). But as well as the mechanics, heroquesting also needs myths that are not just background, but that tie into the current situation in the gameworld, so that epic characters have a reason to engage with them. And this is what 4e has now given D&D, as far as I am aware for the first time.</blockquote>
