Yep. All these myths exist together in the God Time. However, if Orlanth is married to Ernalda in a myth, he doesn't take a lover in the same myth. Unless of course this is a myth where Orlanth and Ernalda are bound according to the 6th or 7th Types of Marriage. Then it is perfectly ok.

The point is that Orlanth and Ernalda honor their oaths and don't violate them (indeed, can't violate them without endangering the cosmos). And they get angry when other people violate oaths where Orlanth and Ernalda were invoked.
