I guess because they didn't make up large enough a part of the myriads of horsepeople to be noticable. When a smelly horse barbarian rapes your wife you hardly look out for his worship while you're tortured, do you?
I doubt that the Storm Pentans (provided they were a significant part of Sheng's host) were especially favoured by Sheng and his lieutenants. If you got a Pentan overlord for a part of Peloria or Kralorela, my bet is it would have been a Solar Pentan chieftain.

Probably did, which is how they raised their numbers from insignificant 10% or less to now up to 30% of the Pentans apparent to outsiders.

Sure. I was speaking of his worship in Pent, though - we know that Pentan "Yelm" and Dara Happan or Kralori Yelm aren't regarded the same way either.

Well, lets have a go at it when I'm back from Convulsion...
