Finally, keep in mind that the Lanksting Orlanthi would have much more exposure to EWF draconic Orlanthism than to God Learner Malkionism as they shared plenty of holy places (most important being Top of the World). Plenty of Orlanthi holy men travel and make pilgrimages from place to place - they do worship a god of Movement after all!
