I gather Rob's question is : What sort of earth deity could the traditonal mobile "adventurer" PC worship, in the Orlanthi pantheon?

Barntar is it, I think. Most Orlanthi men are farmer/carls, and carls worship both Orlanth and his son, Barntar. They revere Ernalda, but only women know her secrets. Men know the secrets of Barntar - ploughing, taming cattle, and pleasing their wives. Most Orlanthi would worship Barntar - except possibly Humakti or weaponsthanes. Some might be particualry keen on Barntar.

 It is certainly imaginable to have an Orlanthi carl worshipper, one who knows well the secrets of Barntar, who has lost his farm and is forced to "adventure". Or perhaps he is on a quest of some sort for the Ernaldans back home.

Sounds like fun!
