Except that one of the thngs we agreed right back at the start of this was that Broyan and Kallyr don't have any major disagreements. I know, everyone expects them to be competing all the time: that's one reason why we decided that they don't. It's too obvious. Kallyr has no desire to rule anywhere except Sartar: there's no conflict of interest between them. Disagreements on methods, maybe, but not over leadership. Short-term temper tantrums, yes. (And the way we've been painting the characters, personally I'd rather be on the receiving end of a tantrum from Kallyr than one from Broyan. Less likely to be lethal.)
But, if we use the "Orlanth gets outlawed" myth, then there will be some *apparent* conflict, won't there? Not between her and Broyan, even now, but between "Orlanth" and his "brothers". We'd need to find a mundane representative for each "brother", and work out some arguments. Which I think is going to make for some fun plots, if we can just sort out the dating so that it all works.
