Sounds about right, though upon reflection, this sort of Piety might be better treated as a "Passion"; it has no real opposite, other than apathy. It's also religion-specific; I could be an initiate of both Orlanth and Issaries, but only observe the latter piously.

Presumably, here the intended connotation is that Goldentongues are "Worldly", or not to put too fine a point on it, "Materialistic", rather than being "Impious" in their attitude to their own religion.
Suggested fix: dump Piety. Replace by two, clearly distinct things:
o A religious observance Passion, Revere [God], say.
o A different trait-pair, say, Worldly and Spiritual (for the sake of choosing a different name).

Not precisely: not all Origami shodan are Japanese, after all. (Though it probably helps.) I was suggesting you evidently had a Keen Appreciation of Matters Lancastrian, to wit, mushy peas and black puddin'. (Perhaps the 3' wide flat cap might be a bit of an overstatement.)

Sorry again -- 2LA = "2 Letter Acronym", RM = "Rune Magic".
Overtersely,
