Lokamayadon was defeated, and Harmast used his people's myths rather than creating new ones, at least that's my understanding of it. The Orlanthi also pulled out of the Nysalor project.

However they EWF Orlanthi were almost completely obliterated by the Dragonkill.

Which doesn't require the creation of any new myths, though it appears some of their cults and myths may have been tampered with. I don't realy want to get into that debate again though.
>In the Third Age they destroyed the Red Moon and changed the world.
Back to the way it's supposed to be in the first place. Healed the world would be more accurate, from their point of view anyway.
>In the God Time, the Orlanthi deities were responsible for violently

And they've learned from the experience. I'm not saying that Orlanthi have made no changes to their religion, or their society. I was merely comparing their relative stability to that of, say, the Malkioni or Lunars.
