I don't think anyone worships Belintar seeking to evoke Belintar - everyone knows his magic doesn't work that way. You might want to become one of the Masters of Luck of Death, although proximity to Belintar is no guarantee of success in that tournament (which has more to do with the magical geography and mythology of Kethaela).

And I think Peter is also referencing back to the Proximate Holy Realm of the Second Age Orlanthi as a possible guide to understanding Belintar's Holy Country.
