A point to avoid getting confused over (though I don't think you were,
yet).
There is a difference between:
- Having a ring structure such that Orlanth is not the leader (your
original question)
- having a standard structure with Orlanth as the leader, but this
place being taken by someone whose primary allegiance is to some other
deity. (As previously discussed, this is a bad idea, but becomes quite
common once the Lunars invade and supress Orlanth).
- having a clan which has more than the standard number of initiates of
some deity other than Orlanth (Humakt, say), but whose ring structure is
non-the-less standard.
