I understood by 'de-gloranthized' to mean that the Imther background material was taken out and the adventures redone for a new background. This project was dropped later on and so I understand the material is still able to be used. I suspect that it wasn't the gloranthan material that was at fault but rather Chaosium & AH were manuveuring for a divorce of sorts.

There are no shamans of Foundchild, only Master Hunters. A Shaman or assistant can be an initiate or Master Hunter of the cult. However his spiritual duties take priorty and a Master Hunter is usually a normal member of the shaman's ethnic group.

What cultures are the characters? I suspect from Foundchild that they are either Pentans, Praxians or Balazarings. The cults they can join are the other spirits of those cultures. Praxians can worship Waha, Pentans Kargzant etc.
Secondly I find the sentence fragment 'be allowed to pursue careers in other cults' to be very strange. Foundchild is a Hunting God and is worshipped by Hunters. When they are not hunting, they are pretty much free to do whatever they like.

The swords concerned have already been described.

so-called Ibiros (brand) of swords, which had a permanently-
activated Bladesharp 3 matrix on each on.'
