My sense is that Orlanthi would rather leave people alone and have little to do with them, religiously speaking. They distrust foreigners as a rule, foreign gods would probably be similar. They aren’t interested in converting you to follow their way because their laws are very much against mingling with you anyhow. That being said, some exception might be made for gods like Issaries or Chalana Arroy. On Jun 13, 2013, at 11:30 AM, pomeroi_at_mailfass.de wrote:
