*Not really. IMO It's an attempt to confuse the Lunar taxman who
*probably charges a head tax on Orlanthi worshippers.
I had always thought that the worship of Ernalda & Barntar was
that 'standard' form for Lunarized Barbarians (ex-Orlanthi in places
like Saird, Tarsh & Holay). This is the typical first step in civilizing
the great unwashed mobs; get them to worship a farmer, not a hunter/
warrior/cattle-stealer.
