I think this is right. I'm pretty sure that Survival Tricks and stuff taught by Derik Pol-Joni are among the common magics of the Pol-Joni.

I agree with Chris. BTW, it is really easy to distinguish the Pol- from regular Sartarites - the Pol-Joni are horseriding, pastoral herders who don't farm! And they genuinely seem to favor Urox! This things alone mark them as being far outside the Sartarite norm. Nonetheless, they are still Heortling theists.
