Clan Law. Andrin is the lawspeaker for what is right in your clan (or by extension, tribe). He's not too interested in what's legal in some other clan's tula. They are all weirdos and have different laws that are just strange and probably wrong. Dealing with -conflicting- laws, that is the essence of Jarani Lawstaff's job.

Not necessarily. These are more active CULTS of Orlanth who happen to include the 4 magic weapons in their mythology (Afterall, someone had to get them in the first place)

The writeup of the Four Magic Weapon subcult of Orlanth was cut due to page count. I think it will be either in Storm Tribe (perhaps attached to Vinga's cult?) or put on the Issareis website. But in essence, the cult provided four stand alone feats (and you've named them, BTW). Any Orlanthi could join this subcult without worrying about Aspect and it was a flat 10% time.
There are also apparently a set of heroquests associated with these that let you get your hands on the 'real' item but that's beyond the scope of this reply... =)
Hope this helps,
Jeff
