Check out the Glorantha Digest - Greg has put up a nice Q&A on Windstop, Esrolia and Ernalda that should help folk and resolves the basic question - is the Ernalda of Esrolia a fundamentally different cult from the Ernalda of the Heortlings. The answer in a nutshell - no, the Ernalda worshipped in Esrolia is the same divine entity worshipped by the Heortlings.

As for Nick's other point: I've not played in any campaign narrated by Greg, so I don't know how he handles players. I do run a biweekly game (with lots of stuff handled PBEM as well) and I doubt that describes my Gloranthan narrating style. But maybe I have no idea how most games are played (which is entirely possible).
