The Heortlings are not the sole source of Orlanthi worship. There are also the Talastings and the Harandings. So the fact that the Lanksti and the Delelans (and Saug etc.) worship Orlanth, does not mean they adopted the Heortling religion. The Lanksti are derived from the Dawn Age Karians, which means their ancestors were probably Talastings rather than Heortlings. The Delelans as part of the EWF might have adopted Heortling practices, but I prefer to keep their ways unlike the Heortlings.
>Siglolf's name sounds more like he's from Aggar or Heortling lands.
Considering his history as being imprisoned by the God Learners, I think he's native to Ralios.

And there is the great threat in 2nd Age to Arkati, Hsunchen and Orlanthi. Galvosti Church of Nomia: Valantia & Col were their center in the Nick Brooke's site of Malkioni Galvosti Church.
From Old Article of Tales of the Reaching Moon#13: <<The sect originated during the last part of the Second Age, when the Galvosti Dynasty of Nomia ruled much of Ralios. The kingdom of Nomia was friendly to the God-learners and when the God Learner fell, Nomia was also destroyed. In the early Third Age, the remnants of the sect were nearly wiped out by vindictive Orlanthi barbarians. Most of the remaining Galvosti live in Ralios.>>
I don't know why Nick slipped such an exciting piece to this article....
So I think Alakoring exploited them to fight wyrms from Delelans, and after he abandoned the welfare of Ralios to attack the Center of Youf, Siglolf was enslaved by Godlearners and Ingolf reinduced Draconic Force to Delela, (Umm, as far as I can check the Timeline, Ingolf came after Alakoring left..(for a while they fought in Saird...)) Jonas thinks Stygian Autarchy ruled Vesmonstran effectively...but I don't think so.
