The sense of my 'particularly' was, in the context of my discussion with Nick, 'places in Sartar you're more likely to find Yelmalio clans, as distinct from Elmal clans, and as distinct from Yelmalians in Sun Dome, in the present day'. I wasn't suggesting it was in a numerical majority as a religion, for example, compared to 'Orlanth-worshipping Orlanthi', (I sincerely hope you're not warming up another neologism...) at least not necessarily. (John Hughes' problems notwithstanding.)
Cheers,
Alex.
