Mostal: There's already the Elevenths of Slon.

Ompalam: although most Fonritans combine the worship of Ompalam with other

        gods, one or two towns could be devoutly monotheist.

The Cult of Silence: an empire (of sorts) did exist historically in

        Umathela.

Yelm: Look at Akenaten for a RW parallel.

Jolaty: There could easily be a Pentan tribe who worships nobody but

        Sheng Seleris's personal deity.
