This doesn't quite fit with the descriptions of mixed/misapplied worship in the Narrator book. If Storm Bull is an entity on the GodPlane then any non-theistic worship is misapplied. It seems to me that some Praxian cults are either theistic or mixed or misapplied worship. Invader cults are probably theistic (Humakt) - no problem there I think. Eiritha and Waha make sense as animistic. Storm Bull is tricky, because making his worship animistic implies that Uroxi in Sartar (etc) are engaging in misapplied theistic worship of a spirit cult.
