Greg's been going with this for a while but I'm not sure exactly what/where/when/why. I'm just pleased that it is.

Gad, I hated how limited the Orlanth cult was in RQII circa 1982 when I started... Everyone became Humakti or Stormbullies for a reason. =(

Oh! And I nearly forgot. In a conversation last week I was told:

There are NO plans to do a D20 conversion of HW at the moment.

Greg sez:

"We have a reputation as independant game designers and we want to keep that. We have no intention of Issaries becoming a saratapy (SP!) of TSR!"

"Chaosium is doing D20 versions of some of their games and this is a good marketing strategy for them but Issaries is not Chaosium."

Hope this helps clarify things!
