That's not the way it seems to work in HQ2. Some Gods "own" particular Runes - but the greater the God, the more Runes. (In Sartar:Kingdom of Heroes Orlanth and Ernalda are the only Gods with three Runes, most have two and a few only have one). Even the subcults of Orlanth typically have two (and with the exception of Niskis, always Runes that Orlanth has).
