There are few Grazer Pol Joni compared to the number of Pure Horse worshippers rescued from the Black Net. The later however converted to Derik's proposal as their old gods had failed them and so in my opinion, they would be unlikely to follow the Pure Horse spirits.

I can think of three possibilities 1) your revived Yelmalio cult, 2) renegade Grazers (infected with the ancient cattle heresy) and 3) sorcerors associateed with the Esvulari, Leftarmers and Black Horse Troop. However there is no way to know which maps onto which.

The Zebra tribe is heavily influenced by the Pavis cult and is also known as the Pavis survivors. Other popular cults among them are Storm Bull, Yelmalio, Humakt and Foundchild.

The positions are given to ambitious priestesses determined to prove themselves and are unwilling to wait for the retirement of their long-lived superiors.
