I believe that this would warrant a thumb nail comment, no more. After
all most RQ cults and groups vet their members very carefully so the
people they pick are probably disclined to defect.

The thumb nail could prehaps describe the difficulty of achieving a
successfull transition into a different school and the somewhat dubious
status of Priest who turns rogue or defects. Give enough so a confident
GM can come up with a ruling to cover the situation.

I believe a more valid transition would be a Priest integrating into the
cultural equivalent of his cult in another part of Glorantha. This
would still be moderately rare but common enough to present some more
solid guidelines I believe.
