Rob, you should know better than to get me onto my favourite obsession - and I tried so hard to make it a generic question.
The rules make it quite clear that they don't. So either they lose out on those vital Feats, or they have them "standalone" in some way. I don't believe the first, and I can't see how to work the second. I know you can learn stand-alone feats from "other" sub-cults, but would that cover this?

Join enough subcults at the same time, and you can build up quite a collection.

One reason why I was trying so hard not to use her as an example!

Incomplete, if you mean the stats. As I may have said before, to get the complete picture you'd need quite a thick book, not one page.

OiD - 10% of her time on "Queen of the Kheldon". Not a lot. Yet another reason not to use her as an example for this question.

No, her Flight affinity went back in 1611 when she swapped to Dar. Again, rules quite clear, and your reference to Govoran's tale ST71 gives examples.
I expect someone lent her an Umbroli. Or... Hmm, remember what I was saying about standalone feats from other sub-cults?
There's another generic question. Let's go back to Govoran as our example. He leaves Ormalaya and joins Orlanthcarl, losing his Hunting affinity and gaining Farming. Can he now (re-)learn the Hunting feats as stand-alone?
