It is found in those places but then so are animists themselves. The Darjiinians, the Jakaleel witches, the Hungry Plateau Sable, the CharUn and the Eolians are all animists and so practice adoration to some extent or another. Similar peoples exist in the East Isles. As for the "basic way that the Heortlings deal with deities", that statement is wrong being an early thought that Greg has later recanted.
