I take RuneLord (which is really a relic of RQ2 - the term was getting rather fuzzy in meaning in RQ3) to be the rough equivalent of Devotee plus being recognised by cult hierarchy as a RuneLord, or more likely the local equivalent. For some cults, this second part is unimportant, for others its a big deal. For most cults, you should really look at it in cult-specific terms, rather than relying on the old RQ2 term RuneLord. Terms like Yelm Imperator may be in many cases more specific in their meaning than the generic terms Rune Lord or Rune Priest and are preferable to use.
