Roderick's comments on Orlanth Adventurous have clarified a lot of things for me, but the character was always a member of the Storm Pantheon he didn't totally ignore the connection (plus, the player is a Glorantha newbie - it was a case of pick a profession and a god you like from these here lists and we'll see how it goes).

There was an assumption that he spent a lot of time in the wilds "doing strange things with the other fly-boys" from the tribe! All very strange :-)
