So how does this work in Sylila? Do the farmers get a visit from the lunar priests and say "sorry guys, stop that, you're strengthening Orlanth". A Sylilan farmer can also be a lunar initiate, this would surely complicate things. I feel that bartar in Sylila is separate from Orlanth, renounced. Just because your father (orlanth) was bad you (barntar) are. The lunars are more enlightened than that. I don't see how there could be collateral worship.
