Also keep in mind that the Lunars (and the Orlanthi) don't know the
connection between these cults in the same way we do. When a farmer
in Saird or Syllila or Tarsh sacrifices to Barntar, he is giving
offerings to Great Orlanth - whether he knows it or not (most likely
not). The farmer just wants Barntar's aid with farming his land, the
Lunars don't care (Barntar is just an agricultural god), and there
aren't any Orlanthi heroes to exploit this. Yet.
