Voriof is usually the son of Orlanth and Ernalda, but some myths give Orlanth and Helera as his parents, others Heler and Ernalda. He is part of Orlanth, worshipped at times by all Heortlings. All Heortling males spend their childhood as members of the “cult” of Voriof the Boy (just as their sisters worship Voria), although they learn no magic. All boys leave the childhood cult upon becoming adults (see Thunder Rebels, pg. 58). Voriof is also one of the Four Providers, whose loyalty to his flock is an example of dedication to duty. Finally, he is praised as the guide who saved many Heortlings from death by making them part of his flock, thus allowing him to protect and lead them.

Orlanth was feeling tired but couldn't get to sleep. He tried fighting all his thanes to tire himself out, but that didn't work. He blew himself across to all the mountains and back, but that didn't work. He dallied with all of his concubines, but that didn't work. Eventually, Eurmal suggested that he count the clouds in the sky, as counting above 5 always tired himself out, well maybe to 10, or 11. Orlanth counted and counted, but this didn't help, but Heler parted the clouds and revealed the sheep within. Orlanth counted the sheep instead and felt himself becoming drowsy, but the drowsier he felt the closer the sheep came, until they crowded around him. Orlanth put his head on the sheep as a pillow and gathered them around him as a blanket, sleeping soundly in their embrace. When he woke up, he found Voriof clutched in his arms and gave him the task of counting sheep.
