Malkioni do not need theistic feats. Their religion supplies them with all the magics that they need. Misapplied worship is an inferior means of getting the magics from their religion (and was given undue emphasis in the original rulebook IMO).
If a Malkioni community has no powerful wizard to protect them, then they can do fine with a low fighting order to Gerlant or some other defending Saint. This needs just a liturgist and the grimoire for the fighters in the community to gain blessings. I suspect that a saint's relic could be used instead of a grimoire.

In uncivilized places (Jonatela etc) the peasants are most likely to be pagans. Malkionism survives in those places as a religion of rulers and townspeople.
