Both aspects of Orlanth are relatively minor ones *to players*, and are often taken by Barntar and Heort among normal Orlanthi. They are so similar that to write a normal cult writeup on them would be to duplicate 80+% of the Barntar and Heort writeups (which *are* in TR).

The main difference between Barntar and Orlanth Farmer is that O. Farmer worshippers are required to be part of the fyrd, while Barntar worshippers are not (their place is taken by the fighting women of Vinga & Babeester Gor).
