I tend to think that we present this information backwards - I think that the aspect is far more significant and important than the subcult. When fyrd gathers on Sword Day, the Heortling warriors invoke Orlanth in his Adventurous aspect (usually following Destor). Even if every member of the fyrd follows Destor, this is still an Orlanth Adventurous ceremony - and those Lunars concerned about such invocations of dangerous gods would be able to figure it out.

I agree with David. One of my very few complaints about Thunder Rebels/Storm Tribe is the treatment of Barntar. I think he is worshipped both on his own and as a shared subcult of Orlanth Allfather. But that's just my own opinion.
