Thank you very much, Greg.
You kindly answered, most of my questions were resolved.

It means that Theoblanc doesn't have power to demonize all of "evil" saints, yet.

Other prophets might be Serozos [Imperial Age Kionvara] and Eliavar [Ship of Life Church].

In HQ rule book, Saints are in Saint Plane(I suppose it was created by 2nd
Action),
while wizards got magic from Adept Plane(created by 3rd Action).
Perhaps, "superadepts" are in Saint Plane, too.

Hmm, it might not be Issaries' (Ugh, St Ashara's) tally. For in Storm Tribe p.113, Issaries Tally is his cult secret. I suppose Saint Castelain spread it among Trader Princes.
As far as I researched, English vocabulary "tally" has not special meaning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_marks
