This presumes that it is Gbaji's body which is responsible for the
Chaos in Dorastor. There is one part in the Yolp Mountains yet
they are not known for being a hotbed of Chaotic Activity.
Rather I think the cause of Dorastor's current fame as Free and
Fertile lies in Arkat's Curse of Cleansing and the subsequent
God Learner meddling. Arkat's curse prevented the natural
regeneration of the land. The God Learners in their investigation
broke through the barrier between the worlds and allowed raw
chaos to 'regenerate' the land.
But this is only IMO.

This is tangentially dealt with in Gods of Glorantha.
First, many cults which have Rune Lords do not have Priests.
Hence the rune lord gets the reusable divine magic in Cults
like Humakt, Hunter, Storm Bull, Wachaza and Zorak Zoran.
If you follow the rules in Gods of Glorantha, a Rune Lord can
attempt to become an acolyte. This allows him or her access to
rune magic in addition to his lordly status. This allows Rune
Masters in the cults of Krarsht, Seven Mothers and Yelmalio.
Finally some cults allow their rune lords access to limited
The only cult left out is the Sun Lord in the Yelm Cult which
reusable divine magic even though the cult has priests. This
includes cults like Orlanth and Aldrya.
has no acolyte station and gets no reusable divine magic nor
any 1d10 divine intervention. I always felt this was a bit
silly and believed that some divine magic should be available.
