Not really my idea as the split came from the Rise of Ralios freeform. But to surmise, Garundyer found and liberated Sigolf Cloudcrusher and gifted the spirit to King Kochalang of Lankst. But the King was worried about the power and prestige of the champion and so shared his knowledge with Surantyr the non-heretic in return for loyalty of Surkorion (who really don't care how great Garundyer is). Surantyr then promptly used his knowledge to crush the army of Sentanos (which was intent on curshing the henotheists and restoring the Galvosti to power).
So Garundyer is now hacked off with the king for abusing his gift. He can't do much yet since the King has the support of a lot of people who don't care about how great Garundyer is. However he is still a Hero.
King Kochalang feels a little more secure now that he has the support of Surkorion as well as the Lankst tribes that support him. He doesn't have to worry about Garundyer ousting him at tribal moots anymore since the numbers are on Kochalang's side. He is worried about a coup and may be embracing the witcheries of Surkorion for additional protection. If so, he would keep this a secret.
Surantyr has Sigolf and Otkorion and is feeling a lot secure now that he has defeated the Sentanos army. He may count on the Surkorion to civilize the Lanksti from within and then rejoin the Henotheist theocracy.
