Personally I think the "Lightbringers Religion" is pretty widespread. As part of the monomyth that transcends just Orlanthi thought, but also works in Pelorian myth, it had a solid base. Then you have the implication the Godlearners boosted it. I think it is around a bunch, often as a strain less focused on Orlanth.

I think Erissa replaces Chalana Arroy in some versions. (Adding to the arguments about whether they are the same entity.)

I think Lhankor Mhy is viewed as part of the Storm Tribe by alliance in heortling myth, but is not necessarily viewed that way elsewhere. Much the same for Issaries.

All to say I am more or less in agreement with you.
