I'm fairly sure they view the Creator in pretty much the same role as heortlings see Arachne Solara, but of course they also actually venerate him. The smaller gods get sacrificed to, I think. Parhaps they should have a 1,5x cost on both traditions, for treading the middleground. Or the GM can choose on individual character basis which is the main worship style, and assign the penalty on the secondary.
