It is ONLY a game, I thought the idea was to have fun. I can easily just ignore the information I have and let my players do anything, but what I was looking for was suggestions on how this might be explained.  

After all Pavis/City Gods wouldnt be the only time this sort of restrictive behaviour might apply. What do Lunar cultists do when they first move into a new area? What if a lunar went to another continent, would they carry their powers still... I would imagine most Lunar followers would think so. But is the Red Moon a full world wide god yet? I assume she is still contesting her position with the gods who currently share it with her, like the various forms of Orlanth.

And when an orlanthi moves to the southern continent, do they keep their magic? Is the game so rigid that you can only exist within your own homeland?

Or is divine power really a force from within, and surely a devotee of a god can go anywhere and manifest the powers he knows exist. A true devotee has no doubt and would believe they could wander off the end of the world and still be with their god.

Its getting a bit philosophical, and I will work out soemthing of my own.
