It was never a separate cult, was it? So I imagine the answer is, "nothing much".

As I said, my initial guess would have been it corresponds to Daylanus, though perhaps it would be closer to it to say they were each a different sub-cult unto themselves (e.g. the Lightning Spear is now the entire Yavor cult).

I assume Vinga being any sort of explicit variant in such respects was never 'official' anyway.
