You can concoct weird theories if you like, but I use Ockham's Razor. Survival of the spirit w/o change is the simplest explanation.

Orlanth Rex was originated by Alakoring Dragonbreaker who came from Ralios, and I believe it's still practiced there. (As elsewhere, only thanes are members, the difference being that only clan chieftains are thanes in East Ralios.)

Trolls, who worship Himile, can use passes that humans can't (remember that Lunars don't like the cold). Or, the trolls have secret tunnels they've eaten through the mountains.
