Oh, I don't suppose its as rigorous or all-encompassing orthodoxy as
that of most Malkioni sects. It doubtless has a lot of wiggle-room in it
for exactly the reasons you state. Probably there's not a lot they agree
on other than the core credo - whereas the Rokari, say, will have
wopping great books detailing what is and isn't orthodox. But one
doesn't have a credo saying 'we believe XYZ' if one doesn't care whether
or not one's followers do, in fact, believe XYZ. They may well have
borrowed the idea from the Carmanians, who care quite a bit about
orthodoxy, for instance. Either way, it seems that belief is something
they are more concerned with than your average theist, and certainly
more so than the Heortlings.
