I'm not disputing that he's a cultural hero in the sense of Vingkot or Heort; I just don't think he is the major god of the area. Consider the other bull tribes are the Kereusi and the Enelvi are still around, the temptation to make Bisos the bullish equivalent of the men's god should be resisted.

I know. I think the ILH-1 treatment is flawed here and in a number of places elswehere.

They did. They are one of the five peoples that Lendarsh found in his land along with the Kereusi, the Kenstratae and the Two Cities.
