Since I abandoned Christianity in favor of Ancient Slavic religion, I can tell you of some similarities between Orlanthi and Slavic gods.  

For example, Elmal cult can safely be adopted as cult of Suria or Hors, the god of sun and horses. Orlanth is very similar to Perun, and somewhat to Greek Zeus. Veles is male, but can be considered same as Ernalda. Zhivana can be considered the same as Vinga in her feminist aspect, but I am not sure wether her worshippers were warriors. Lada is similar to Chalana Arroy. Mokosha is somewhat similar to Eurmal. Pravda is some mixture of Humakt's honor and Urox's anti-Chaos aspect.  

I hope this helps.

Subject: Possibly OT: HW Ancient Rome?  

I'm working on an Ancient Roman Empire campaign of sorts, and I'm wondering how
it might work in HW terms. Would any of the published cults so far be adaptible, for instance, as some of the mystery religions? Yelmalio and Mithras, for example, would seem very similar in nature; for Isis, would one of
the Earth goddesses do? I'm still researching the late Imperial period, so any
thoughts on this subject be very useful and appreciated.

If this is OT, please let me know and I'll take it off the list.
