That doesn't matter as we know the effective distance for them to be the Greatest Mountain is 400 miles (Thunder Rebels p119)

The Orlanthi of Heortland have Kerofin as their Greatest Mountain. Stormwalk is the local Great Mountain for Heortland while the Orlanthi in Esrolia have Arrowmound as their Great Mountain (TR p120).

No, they see the same Storm Realm as everybody else. The Paps and other Praxian Features are on the Spirit Plane and only be visible to the animists who venture there, not to the Orlanthi visiting the Storm Realm. The Block might be an exception to this rule, but it might be found near Storm Bull's realm.
>Pavis: Any idea? I'd say they go to Kero Fin... maybe using the
>Rockwoods as a launching ramp.
They go to Kerofin, probably using Mount Dratsch in the Indigo Mountains as their Great Mountain.

>Mtn? (The latter I guess is the Talasting version of Orlanth's mother).
Both Mount Soren and Bear Mountain are in the Storm Realm. Mount Soren never fell beneath the Waves (TR p136) while Bear Mountain is holy to Odayla. The Great Queen Mountain has Ana Gor's rune atop of it and so might be connected to human sacrifice.

It's not required that the mountain be visible, it's only necessary that it have a nearby presence on the God Plane. Since the effective distance for Kerofin is 400 miles, I don't see much of a problem for Top of the World.
