However hunting isn't actually Odayla's intrinsic nature; being a bear is. Perhaps in Sylila, there might be an Odaylan disciple but I can't see one in Sartar.

I don't consider that having a natural ability to fly requires one to spend 90% of his time as a disciple of Vanganth. RiG p64 implies the opposite with the next sentence ("Others are taught by Vanganth...").

The criterion for rejecting Vanganth disciples that I was thinking of, was that in teaching only one affinity, it's is a subcult (as opposed to an aspect of Orlanth like Adventurous, etc), thus only 10% of one's time need be spent following him.
