Huh. My mistake. I thought they worshipped Orlanth as the invisible
god. But it does
seem that the lay people do worship the invisible god according to
the way the Hero
Book is written. So do they use the Abiding Book? This means the lay
people are in fact
NOT doing misapplied worship (not that it matters since most don't
concentrate at that
level) only the Orderly and Wizardly schools?
It does seem Worlath is only around in the nobles according to the book.

Well, if it is just the saints, then yes, less shocking, true.
