I'm thinking that the Vadeli use underworld magics instead of sorcerous magics.

It depends on how they interpret Malkion's teaching.

Which makes little difference. Most Christians don't know how to spell the name of their founder correctly.
>Official HW Rule states that Carmanians are not Malkioni.
The HW rules say nothing of the sort. All that it says is that the tradition detailed in the rules is true for the "majority of Malkioni lands" HW:RiG p167 and that other sorcerous traditions operate differently. Hence a sorcerous sect can operate differently than in the rules and still be Malkioni.

Atheistic sects do not venerate. The Waertagi do, but the "Brithini" of Sog City, Arolanit and God Forgot do not.
