And Vinga has how many?

OK, Aspects and Subcults are easily confused terms, so Yelmalio could have several different subcults - Yelmalio the Farmer, Yelmalio The Rider, Yelmalio the Sundomer, Yelmalio Runs-Away-From- Darkness and so on.

Or perhaps Light, Truth and another one, which is subcult-dependant. So, Yelmalio the Farmer would have a Farming Affinity (Bless Crops,Sunripen), Yelmalio the Sundomer might have Hoplite (Shield Wall, Pike) and so on.
