Why would the Bemuri bother fooling around with Orlanth when Urox is even a better fit to those bullish traits?

But since they have converted from animism to theism, no such retention is possible. In any case, all that's been said about the East Wilds Orlanthi is that they are aware of their hsunchen roots, not that they all feverently maintain their old hsunchen identities. And what of the Vustrians among them?

He is a cattle spirit as follows from him being a Hsunchen spirit.
