No he isn't. Heler is an Orlanthi god, and has little connection (if any) with the Praxians. Genert's mythology could only be very tangentially linked to Heler's older stories, at best. Also, Genert is dead.

Praxian shamans cannot contact Heler. They may (or may not) have their own rain spirits, who would be much much weaker than Heler. The strongest 'rain' spirit in Prax is the Dew Maiden, I think.
Also, the Praxian Storm Bull is very similar to the
Orlanthi Urox ; but not *exactly* the same. One
difference of the Praxian cult would be
non-association with minor Orlanthi cults, IMO. Also,
the Storm Bull actually *prevents* rainfall (he is
associated with sand/dust storms), rather than
potentially assisting it, IMO.
In western Prax, rain is the province of Orlanth, I think, unless this has been changed for HW.
I have no idea who (if anyone) governs rain in the Wastes. Weak rain spirits, possibly.
Any help ?
