Again true. But the saint is going to be about surviving the cold, not the power of the cold itself. A subtle, but important distinction. Mind you, not having seen a write up of St Worlath, I'm not sure if that kind of thing holds all the time.
As for the sorcerous order, it teaches you the rules that control the cold, it doesn't need to have an anthropomorphic representative for that.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm wrong here. With the exceptions of things that are purely one otherworld or the other such as the Creek, Stream, and River (who are all members of the Water Tribe or am I misremembering that?) or things like those diamonds of pure essence, everything in the mortal world is mixed, right? So while a given mountain might have a daimon/god that is most associated with it, it probably still also has a spirit and an essence, even if they are not well known or very weak. So from a gaming point of view, I'd allow anyone access through any otherworld if they really needed it or it made for a good story. (Obviously, if them NOT having access made for a good story, I'd do that too. I'm easy. :> )
