Maybe, but I can't help this becomes, in a way, too easy. Especially when you consider just how piddling *small* a culture the Orlanthi are, I worry about this notion of a proliferation of subcults. I also think it makes for a more interesting story to explore just *how* a chieftain or king who doesn't have the obvious magical background rose to power and applies his/her own distinctive powers to the job. That's one thing I tried to bring out when I wrote up Ranulf in GT: how a Barntar king might approach kingship from a different perspective. Just creating, say a Barntar the King subcult which is closer to Dar or whoever, seems IMO to be diluting this story potential.
All the best
