Well, among others. There's also "when everyone had been lost, he found
them and brought them together again", though I don't know enough about
Eurmal to assign this to an Aspect. It doesn't sound quite the same as

the Firebringer to me.

Why grudgingly? This is Orlanthi we're discussing, not prissy Yelmies.
There's a difference between the Seducer and the Rapist: in fact, I see
the Seducer as an aspect of Orlanth Adventurous myself. Of course, I'm
assuming here that "seducing" was really what happened to Sinjota.....
