GIven that is part of the Loyalty affinity, I don't see any grounds for using it on priests of arbitrary gods, most of whom have no particular loyalty to Orlanth. Other than gods of the Storm Pantheon. Your narrator may vary.

This scene is illustrated in King of Dragon Pass, BTW. (Though I think the artist got the directions wrong, and the Vingkotlings and Harandings may be reversed.)

I believe there are no more Vingkotlings. I think there are still Vingkotling elements in modern Heortling society.

They become the Wenelian Orlanthi (and some of them are transplanted to Umathela where they provide ingredients for that culture).

I had hoped to include some material on them in Enclosure 3, but got distracted by KoDP. Nick Brooke and Trotsky had some stuff I was hoping to synthesize. Some of Nick's was posted to old Glorantha Digests, and might be searchable (I think "Wendel" is a good term to search by).
