Well there is a sightly different set of affinities in an earlier version on the electronic copy of the rules from the GTA site:

Affinities:
Wind (Raise or Lower Wind, Create Tornado, Still Tornado, Drive storm, Command Gods of the Air, Snatch Breath) Clouds/Rain (Rainmaking, Call Clouds, Start Thunderstorm, Gentle rain, Call Hail, Thunderbolt)
Fertility (Protect Crops from Wildlife, Delight Wife, Bless field, Bless herd)
Secret: Control Air

(hopefully no on will scream on the copyright here)

which is a more fertile Orlanth. Perhaps its closer to what Greg has in mind now.

PS Delight Wife is one of my favourite feat names :-)
