49 Names, not 100. It will be in the Sartar Book:

The 49 Names of Orlanth are: Orlanth, King, Larnsting, Lifebringer, Lightbringer, Thunderer, Poet, Rebel, Freedom Maker, Master of the Lightnings, Liberating Bolt, Disruptor, Husband of Ernalda, Liberator of Ernalda, Three-Bladed Spear, Tat, Veredash, Ohorlanth, Great Orlanth, Orlanth Adventurous, Desemborth, Drogarsi, Niskis, Ovanshagor, Varanorlanth, Orlanth Allfather, Orlanthcarl, Orlanth Rex, Dashing One, Defthands, Warrior, Ormakt, Orlanthdar, Orlanth the Wind, Helanth Rainmaker, Herdsman, Lanthalda, Pelanth, Ram, Bull, Bear, Beloved, Raider, The Unfetterer, The Bearer, The Breaker of Bonds, Lawmaker, Bringer of Death, Justicebringer, Master of the Three Sacred Thunderbolts, and Orlanth the Thunder Weapon.

BTW, Orlanth has more names than this list. This is just one scholar's attempts to list them.
