Nic Hughes had an interesting observation on the Glorantha Digest that I would like to bring onto this list:

I don't think this is terribly far off. Read Barntar as the primary version of Orlanth, add Imarja into the mix and this largely works. Farmers probably don't travel all that much, but the sheep-herders (who largely worship Orlanth Adventurous) certainly do.
