In the GodTime, Orlanth's people lived in Sartar (rather, "Kerofinela"). After all, Kero Fin is the Holy Mountain, the mother of Orlanth. Just go on heroquest--you'll see that Orlanth's sacred stead is in the shadow of Kero Fin.

That said, there are *other* Orlanthi who have the bizarre, surely mistaken, notion that some other mountain in a completely different part of the world is the Holy Mountain. Perhaps *they* think the Storm Tribe used irrigation.
