High King of the Gods and principle god of the Orlanthi religion, Orlanth is worshipped in all the Orlanthi lands by most males of the tribes.
Orlanth is High King of the Gods, worshipped by almost all Orlanthi men; he is the Middle Air, the Great Storm that moves all winds. He is a warrior and leader who overthrew the Emperor (Yelm) and freed Ernalda.
Though he welcomes specialists to his household, he is also good at all the things his followers can do. Thus he can fight, judge, recite, farm, and make things as well as husband, father, and lead. With Ernalda and his storm companions, Orlanth formed the Storm Pantheon.
In the Great Darkness Orlanth set off with his companions and completed the great Lightbringers Quest, to liberate Life from Death. Now he rules the world, and oversees the Orlanthi gods and peoples. His initiates are carls, kings, warriors, and magicians and his cult also includes worship of the Thunder Brothers, Barntar, and many local heroes.
