Somewhat. You can find my detailed idea of a Far Point burial rite in Questlines I.

I wouldn't say 'all', though. Some of them, definitely. Which is where the misapprehension stems from. Many of the TKT priestesses are simply Earth Mothers become Elders. IMFar Point, at least.

I thought that appropriate as well, and described it as such in Questlines. OTOH, in other places worshippers of Orlanth are cremated on burial pyres to be lifted up into the Winds.
>Also, are their any earth cults that men may join without losing face?
Depends on what you mean by earth cult, of course, but Barntar is IMO the 'standard' earth/storm combo. Urnde the Labourer is another one, in the Holy Country.
