Finovan is a subcult of Orlanth Adventurous, so you'd probably put (c), but this would inevitably subsume (a) and (b).

Well, I suppose so - but the whole point of a god-talker is that this is a person with a very specific relationship to their deity - most would also be devotees, anyway. But of course there is always scope for a cool backstory to allow exceptions - after all, these are Orlanthi, the 85% Tribe!
