I think they are effectively the same in many respects. Barntar is a
specialized Orlanth:Farmer. You can't worship Barntar without worshipping
Orlanth IMO. Barntar's myths probably include "Orlanth teaches Barntar to
harness the Ox", "Barntar teaches men to plow" etc. Some Orlanthi may only
worship Orlanth the Farmer.
