That's what I figured. (Does one normally apotheosize before or after death in Glorantha? It seems Sartar did it on his own time, but HonEel did it after dying. Is it really just a case-by-case basis?

And that's certainly a possible case. Greg has spoken on Natha, but I don't suppose there's any reason to suppose there isn't a subcult or two of that goddess. Or that like Kallyr, there is more than one initiation going on. (For me, Natha is actually the best solution in game, but YGWV.) LC
