> Though in some ways your answer raises many questions too. Even though the Orlanthi faiths in Heortland, and in Sartar (or more correctly in what is now Sartar but was radically different then), and in Vesmonstran, all started out as the faith Harmast would have recognised 12 centuries ago, how,could they also manage to end up in the same place 12 centuries later, when what had happened in the intervening 12 centuries in these three places was not the same? Especially if there is no overarching central hierarchy/bureaucracy to try and keep them that way. AFAIK there is no 'Orlanthi papacy' (or even an 'Orlanthi Lambeth Conference') to do this -- unless one has emerged somewhere between HQ1 and the new Sartar book that I haven't seen yet-- and even if there had, wouldn't it seem rather unOrlanthi?
When it comes to Orlanth, the Ralians experience many of the same events that the Hendriki do. They go to the same places in the Otherworld and experience the same things. The Ralians will have lots of minor and local gods the Hendriki know nothing of, but when it comes to Orlanth, they know the same god.
