  As Peter said, the key word is shown under Heler in Storm Tribe. However note that Voriof is also has less formal status of 'god of boys/young men' much in the way that Voria is the goddess of girls/young women. As I understand it older boys/youths spend a lot of time watching the herds, which is where the relationship comes from.

It is rare to go on to formal initiation to Voriof, but when many Heortlings think of a herder god, they probably think of Voriof, even if they don't know of any actual Voriof initiates.

I worked with Jeff Kyer on a Voriof hero quest that was originally slated to go into one of the future Sartar Rising books, but now that those have been axed I'm not quite sure what is happening with it.
