The myth in Enclosure 2 has Orlanth doing it.
Maybe Heort reformed wergild from the very high values Orlanth gave to values more appropriate for the modern era (which of course is not as prosperous as the Storm Age).

I believe they do (and that the way the Alakoring label is being applied in the book is confusing). Hero Wars (the rule book) assumes that Heortlings are really Sartarites.

But the feat is indeed "Command Gods of Storm Pantheon" [HW.62]. Sadly, I don't think Yelm or the Red Goddess is affected in any way by this feat.
Orlanth's supremacy is manifested in other ways.
BTW, I remember something about a knight's full plate armor taking a year to make. Most Gloranthan armor isn't as involved.
