Also keep in mind, the Kolat tradition is very broad and a Kolating does not have to emulate Kolat the way an initiate of Orlanth or Ernalda does. There are several spirit societies in Sartar, most organized around a single big spirit or group of spirits; probably the most important is that of the Storm Bull which coexists with divine worship of Urox.
