I'll have to (mis-?) quote Jane: This is regarding only a minority of the Orlanthi, the male half (mostly).
About half the people who made up the Orlanthi came from Peloria or were already resident in the area and joined the Orlanthi in the Wedding of Orlanth and Ernalda. Ernalda's daughters brought their lowfire husbands, too, and probably other elemental associations as well.
Vingkot is one of several Orlanthssons from a mortal mother, and of a very minor people (the On Jorri), too. Drorgalar (ancestor of the Harandings) didn't make it that far to godhood. Others now are included in or associated with the Thunder Brothers. The Praxians doubtlessly already were in the rough region, and there are myths of intermarriage (Vingkot and a daughter of Tada, for instance, and where did Ulanin come from?)

Of course. Ernaldan mythology tells the Orlanthi so.
