I'm over 200 messages behind on this list, but in what I've seen of this thread I don't _think_ I've seen this sentence from the Vinga write-up in ST, p. 174:
"In addition to Vinga's personal subcults, initiates and devotees may join any aspect or subcult of Orlanth."
If the comment about joining any aspect of Orlanth doesn't mean that a Vingan can join "Allfather", I'm not sure what it might mean. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jennifer
