I've come in on the middle of this discusion, but I gather it is about Orlanth is Dead.

I am confused by this statement. I thought it's pretty clear that Kolat still has his power. Excerpts from OiD:
*Deities With Magic*
See */Hero Wars /*and */Storm Tribe /*for details of these deities.
/Major Deities/: Chalana Arroy, Elmal, Eurmal, Heler, Humakt, Issaries, Kolat (to an extent), Lhankor Mhy, Odayla, Urox, Yinkin.
*Kolat Rites*.
Huge numbers of people attend this, resulting in the kolatings being able to perform the so-called "21 charm." During the rites the shamans reach into a bag and pull out special fetishes for everyone attending. Everyone who can get one carries this, which has some kind of non-wind spirit stashed inside in case anyone needs some kind of last choke of luck. The charms are comparatively weak though, since most Kolating shamans were present at their own private rites on this day, busy defending the mobs from invisible assaults.
Dozens of them prowl the countryside, selling their rapidly diminishing stock of hard-won charms and fetishes. No one refuses a chance to buy, and people learn that other shamans are here, too. Even their strange spirits are welcome to desperate folk.
Have I missed something here? Why is it being said Kola is without power?
