Here is part of a reply to a previous question I had about subcults from Roderick Robertson

"Re-reading the text, I can see the problem in the use of the word "subcult".
The "subcults" mentioned in the above extract refer to the worship of entities who teach one feat or affinity. Unfortunately, we used "subcult" in
the Keywords chapter to refer to aspects of gods. This was a mistake on our
part (hindsight is 20-20).

So how do you tell the different subcults apart? basically if a "subcult"
has more than one affinity it is really an "aspect" of a god and needs to
have
its own Inititaion or Devotion. If it teaches only one affinity or less
(only
one feat), then it is a subcult and comes under the 10% rule extracted above.

So Hedkoranth (3 affinities) must be Initited to, while Vanganth (1 affinity) can be worshipped with only 10% of your time."
