Where does it say Ernalda is actually being Mahome? What Thunder Rebels states is:
A subcult worships a god, hero, or part of a god within the
context of a larger cult.
TR 67.
Given that several subcults are shared, it looks to me like Ernalda and Mahome are separate entities.

I don't see how you can maintain that Harst is not Orlanth on the basis of TR p233 yet state that Mahome is Ernalda on the basis of TR p189.
