Then again, the vast and unfathomable god Orlanth, the personification of the natural power of storm, a ruler among his peer gods might not be overly concerned with the _forms_ his human worship takes.
It is stated time and again in this debate that humans cannot fully grasp the gods and their minds. Why should such a being be changed by the way the puny humans approach him?
This is a schoolbook case where different people's Gloranthas must vary according to taste, since neither theory can be disproved.

Ugh, or like when I have a migraine and can smell the pain (it smells like hot plastic and ozone).
