Perhaps mildly Gregged, though I'd argue more in terminology than in 'fact'. If you 'join' (become a devotee of, in recent Greggist jargon) Orlanth the Farmer, Barntar, or Nandan (whichever seems the most appropriate), that pretty much covers most of the ground that 'joining the cult of Ernalda' might have been thought to denote in RQ2/3.

In a sense, _all_ Orlanthi males are in the 'cult of Ernalda', in pretty much the same way that all Orlanthi females are in the 'cult of Orlanth'. Except that one would really normally say 'the religion of Ernalda and Orlanth' (or, Orlanth and Ernalda).

Cheers,
Alex.
