The only statement that I can recall making is a comment that initiates of the Seven Mothers can chose to specialize to one of the Seven Mothers but I've stated this well before Hero Wars.
Personally I would take the short form magics of the Rufelza cult as the basic Seven Mothers cult except that I'll drop the Chaos affinity and replace it with Pleasure (Extend Wine, Reduce hangover, Look Better, Seduce, Find pleasure in anything). The pleasure affinity appeared in an old Rufelza draft. The cult's secret is paradoxical defense as per HW-rules.
To specialize, one joins the Mother's subcults. These each teach one affinity from the mother's own cult (Jakaleel, Danfive and Teelo are my own suggestions).
Danfive Xaron: Heart of Darkness (Reveal Crime, Feel Guilt, Badge of Shame, Follow Dark Path, Sense Tortured Soul).
Deezola: Heal Body (feats as per HW-rules)
Irrippi Ontor: Otherworld (feats as per HW-rules)
Jakaleel: Witchcraft (Summon Lunes, Summon Shades, Summon Dead, Summon Madness Spirits, Summon Selenes)
Teelo Norri: Innocence (Speak without Guile, Sincere Impression, Resist Indecent Suggestion, Accept at Face Value, Shield of Innocence).
Yanafal Tarnils: Combat (feats as per HW-rules)
Instead of learning the specific mother's secret from these subcults, the secret learned from the mother subcults is the Rufelzan Chaos Affinity and related feats.
