Odayla's importance was known a bit earlier than the Chaos Age but he
was the 'best hunter' particularly when Orlanth (and his various
aspects and roles) had left on his quest.
I'm not sure how a disciple ties into the game-speak myself. I'd be
inclined to say they might learn magic more cheaply -- say at 2 points
for a +1 affinty or something like that, as well as other in-cult
kudos.
