But attached to the Praxian religion key word are the Bison, High Llama, Impala, Sable, Rhino, and Morocanth homland keywords. So it's one-to-many that way, at least.

And I can think of at least one example of someone who could conceivably have the Bison homeland keyword and the Orlanthi magic keyword. Of course (if so -- and I don't know), his name would be Argrath White Bull, so maybe he doesn't count.

Still, I bet there are a few Sables who have the Sable homeland and Lunar magic keywords. And a few Heortlings who have converted. And lots of Tarshites (though they might not have the Heortling keyword, I bet they have the Tarshite keyword and either a Lunar or Old Tarsh magic keyword -- or something like that).

And then there's Sartarite Sun Domers, who might take the Heortling homeland keyword, but some other magic keyword (though I don't know enough about them to say).

Dragonnewts aren't Heortlings. They aren't even human.
