Well, the question is pretty much open-ended. The fourty-eighting parts that Roderick spoke of was when Orlanth was cut to pieces by Wakboth (KoS p79) which doesn't quite feel like a mystical enlightening moment to me.
There is also drinking from the well of Daliath (although that gave him Mastakos) but this myth isn't part of Heortling myth (I think it's Safelstran myself).
If Orlanth were to have a Rashorana moment on the LBQ, it would be the Alone in Hell moment. This is where his leadership fails him, Eurmal betrays him in the Obsidian palace and Orlanth is cast into the pit (only to be rescued by Eurmal). This event occurs before he enters the Halls of the Dead but since I don't have ILH-1 yet, I can't quite pronounce on the correct answer.
