You are both correct. According to the cult description on Issaries.com, Donandar is the rounger 1/2 brother of Drogarsi and rescued Drogarsi from chaos monsters. Drogarsi then gave Donandar access to his powers. In our campaign travelling skalds worship Donandar as he has the powers of folk music, courtly music, and battle music (sagas). Warrior-skalds worship Drogarsi as a herocult of Orlanth the WArrior and gain his magic to help their sagas.

I agree, I think that Drogarsi is another name for Orlanth the Poet (like Vingkot is another name for Orlanth Victorious, Issaries is another name for Orlanth Goldentongue...etc etc etc)
