Nowhere, of course. Presumably Heortling characters can learn common magic from common religions that list Heortland in the Homelands section of the keyword. Donandar and Lanbril are in Heortland, for instance (although _Thunder Rebels_ says they are "unusual"). However, like Flesh Man they teach talents, which means that a concentrated theist worshipper will have to give them up.

As I mentioned before on this list, this is one of the things that seem odd about the concentration rules and the way they interact with the homelands in the HQ rulebook. In some cases, concentration on the main magic system of a homeland means giving up the native common magic because it's from the wrong otherworld. But non-native common magic, no matter how weird or foreign, is OK based on the rules if it's from the right otherworld.
