It's identifying what makes these different from the (apparently) non-common-magic hero cults that is confusing me. Maybe it's because Storm Tribe/Thunder Rebels are Hero Wars so pre-common magic, and if subsequent HQ books have covered such cults they haven't come across the same way to me

Again my understanding, at the moment is that "Otherworld/Theistic" as opposed to "Common" magic feats are provided by minor hero cults
