I agree with Peter on this to the extent that the fire tribe should not be confused with "Dara Happan pantheon". I do not believe that the Orlanthi inherited most of their fire gods from a golden age culture that they overthrew - unless by that Peter means that the Orlanthi fire tribe originate from the supporters of the evil Emperor that Orlanth overthrew.

If I recall, Mahome is a fire goddess that was "captured" by the Orlanthi from the Fire Tribe. I don't think she is from Caladraland.
