Apart from Thunder Rebels and Arcane Lore which I may have possibly mentioned to you...

The animistic theistic split is implicit in the sources, namely the information in the Genertela Boxed set and Elder Secrets that the Mraloti are Hsunchen and the information in Thunder Rebels that Entraa is the Esrolan pig subcult.

Except that your all manirians are pig-lovers requires that all the seven tribes of the Manirians believe that "God is a Pig" while the Sartarites do not believe that "God is a Shadowcat".

Really? The article only briefly concerns itself with the Entruli as the main focus of the article is about the history of the Kingdom of Night. You might have been better off asking Greg which bits were mostly authoritative as it appears from Thunder Rebels and Arcane Lore (which are more authoritative) that Greg doesn't think that Maniria was all about pigs.
