> Is that because the Sylilans have always worshipped Odayla directly rather than Orlanth, or is that because Odayla is a tolerable substitute and a way to be "Orlanthi without Orlanth" (a bit like how Barntar is worshipped in Tarsh where direct Orlanth worship is frowned upon or outlawed or banished to the wilds)
Yes and yes. And because the Odaylans live in the hills and form a minority of the population.
