War chariot pulled by two oxen... it does actually make mythic sense that a chariot would be a requirement, I suppose.

This is the Sartar version of Orlanth, as it appears in the Sartarite colony of Pavis. So yes.

KoS doesn't contain an Orlanth cult write-up, does it? It's an addition to everything that came before it, not an over-write (not that it could be an overwrite - how would you explain to a priest that he doesn't need his cart any more because that rule got left out of a book that won't be written for another few centuries?)

ah, yes, true.... and one good reason to forbid that would be "bringing the cult into disrepute" - it would be even harder to take seriously than a duck.
