Our Orlanthi games pre-dated Barbarian Adventures, but I think it's unusual for the type of ring to remain constant. The chieftain determines the ring form frequently, to accomodate shifts in politics. For example, if a family rises to prominence and needs to be on the ring, the chief will shuffle the ring so that a member of that family can be given representation.
And yes, this assumes that the important family has suitable religious leaders -- but that's part of the chief's challenge.
