It holds for the Malkioni and the Mostali. The Vadeli were originally one of the Malkioni tribes, just like the Brithini.

Of the Invisible God? One could argue that the mystical Durapradur, the Void etc is that entity, whereas the Pamaltelan version is Earthmaker. Greg has this idea that theistic worship of him is a Bad Thing, and the Avanapdur Error that devastated the East Isles is a prime example of this.
