Given that it's only one university in Umathela (Yoranday was destroyed in 901 ST and the Waertagi destroyed 'the rest of the universities' to gravel and pulp in 954 ST), I think the number of qualified god-learners in Umathela must be even larger.

IMO the solution lies in divorcing the image of the God Learner Heroquester from the powergaming Super-rq model. IMO they are more akin to qualified technicians keeping the magical economy and the monomyth going.
