Arachne Solara does not respond to worship -- can't remember where I read that, but I'm quite positive it is the case. Worship till you're blue in the face it ain't going to do you any good... which is why there is no organized cult in the theistic sense. (Makes a good candidate for a Stygian heresy though.)

Number one causes a lot less problems. In Strangers in Prax the Orlanthi riot when a sorceror comes to Pavis. In a place they control I'm quite sure a sorceror would be lynched with whatever force was necessary. Number two also smacks of monty haulism.
