Alexandre Lanciani:

>Orlanth: Generous, Just, Pious, Prudent, Valorous;

Replace Pious with Proud and Prudent with Energetic. The measure of an Orlanthi is based on his fame while I don't see Orlanth as being prudent in his mythos.

>Storm Bull: Energetic, Proud, Reckless, Valorous, Vengeful; bonus +1d6
>dmg (only against chaos creatures?).

David Dunham's rules had the following virtues for Storm Bull depending on the region where he's worshipped (Prax from ToTRM#6 and East Wilds from Enclosure #1).

Prax: Proud, Arbitrary, Indulgent, Suspicious, Valorous. East Wilds: Proud, Lustful, Indulgent, Suspicious, Valorous.

Your Reckless and Vengeful are plausible interpretations.

>Issaries: Energetic, Honest, Just, Prudent, Worldly;

Issaries honest and just? I have this block of truestone you might be interested in...

ToTRM#6: Energetic, Selfish, Proud, Suspicious, Worldly Enclosure#1: Energetic, Honest, Proud, Suspicious, Worldy

Obviously a Goldentongue got at the draft of Enclosure #1.

>Trickster: [...] bonus ??? .

2d6-7 to any task? Assuming a d20 is used.

>Shaman: Honest, Pious, Suspicious, Temperate, Vengeful; bonus ??? .

I don't think Shamans would get a religion bonus. Their shamanic prowess depends on the number of spirits that charmed, traded, dickered with and beaten up rather than any personal behaviour.
