That depends WHERE they are. The God's World ( specifically in this instance the Storm Tribe Tula, etc) would be Friendly to an Orlanthi (+5), Alien to Hsunchen (or any Animists/Sorcerors) (-20). However, if the HQ takes place on the Hero's World (back in time, effectively) it's neutral to both. So once you pass through Orlanth's Stead, you are back in 'normal' territory, albeit a 'normal' time from another age!
Just so I can use this to settle my own doubts, I ran one HQ about Elmal finding Hippogriff & adopting Horse into the Storm Tribe. Since that happened between deities, with no mortals involved, it would be in the God's World. Another one was in the Greater Darkness - that's the Hero Plane, a mortal, if heroic, world with no modifiers. If I do Vinga Joins the Thunderbrothers, that'll be another one in the Gods' World.
As I write this, I'm even less certain than before...
