Genert's Garden is present from the start of the Golden Age and I suspect his roots as Lord of Earth and Lord of Life (2 epithets used in King of Sartar), I think that his roots are in the Green Age.

The debate I am thinking of is whether the religious approach is as simple as:
Theists in the North;
Mystics in the East;
Monotheists/Materialists in the West; and
Animists in the South
Genert predating Orlanth is a counter-argument in this debate. But there are other revelations that are much more fun than that :)
