Barntar (plus the Quite Vincible Golden Horde)

 Just a couple of quick questions before I HeroQuest down to Sydney to exorcise the Dead Spirits of my Past (a.k.a a 10 Year Class of '83 School Re-union):

 Barntar: what detail is available about Barntar, the Orlanthi Plough/Farmer God, outside of KoS? I may be starting to GM Dorastor: Land of the Big Laughs in a few weeks and I suspect that there will some PC Orlanthi farmers in the party. If there is no detail available I will play Barntar initiates as male Ernalda initiates: men can rise to acolyte in the Ernalda cult.

 Barntar cultists will have less associate cults than female Ernalda cultists, since the female-only cults (Maran Gor and Babeester Gor) won't associate with them. Are there any other things that should be changed in Ernalda for Barntar initiates?

 The Golden Horde. I noticed the other day (I think it was in either Dorastor or KoS) that there was a 20 year gap between the forming of the Golden Horde and the Dragonkill War. The distance between Peloria/Prax and Dragon pass isn't that much. Was there an extended war to reach the Pass or was the "Golden Horde" a political (anti nonhuman) movement that took many years to gather the support (a.k.a Nazis) or both?
