Colin summarizes KoS on how Lokamayadon sought to cut off the worship of
Orlanth in yesterday's daily.
As I understand the legends, Lokamayadon acted not to eliminate Orlanth, but to _replace_ him. Instead of carrying out his priestly duties to facilitate worship of Orlanth, Lokamayadon found a way to interpose himself in the 'worship chain.' He claimed the new way to worship Orlanth would be through him, and not directly.
This is much like the worship of the Kralori Dragon Emperor. Except Godyuna and his ilk are generally perceived as being more benevolent than that Lokamayadon-dude.
