He's Orlanth's kin, so unless he's been outlawed... If you like him, and worship him within the 'normal Heortling cultural context', then he obviously is a part of the Storm Tribe; if you hate him, it seems less likely...

Oh, good. I was expecting flurries of replies telling me my interpretation was up its own bottom. ;-) But such cases seem a little fuzzy (as well as furry) to me, so I have mixed feelings about trying to nail it down with any great zeal.

I have similar tendancies myself, which is naturally why I persecute them so vigorously in others, human nature being what it is. ;-) (The persecutees will now form an orderly queue to agree, I imagine...)

Ah! Indeed, you can't be a devetee if you;'re not initiated. (Not unless you're Spontaneously Heroformed Avataresque Wonder Child, anyway.) Though to quibble, 12/10/8/6 is more of a narrative than an adulthood state. (The 'we're lowly cottars, tending our sheep, and it's raining' campaign, or whatever.)

Oh, I agree. It's only an issue of people are trying to overhear a conversation they're not meant to, impress the living daylights out of an NPC by how well they speak _their_ language, etc, etc.

To give you the benefit of a purely third-party guess, I imagine such thoughts would be contigent on their more immediate plans to make some money, if at all possible...
