I think the last part is overstating the power of the ritual. Outlawry separates the offender and the clan, but the clan does not have the power to separate the offender and her/his god. Now, for most of the really serious offenses, the god will probably be ditching the offender anyway, but that's a separate issue. I suppose if the clan has some specific hero cults or variant subcults they worship, where kinship is significant, outlawry would interfere, but, in most cases, I think Orlanth and Ernalda are the ones who get to chose if a person is allowed to stay in the Storm Tribe, not some clan ring....
