A concept I have been developing for some years and recently advancing, I posted this in the Discord and mtg thought it worth noting here.
This is based on various concepts of pre-Christian Germanic kingship, general sacral kingship, and a general desire to establish cultural sub-groups within the primary human ethnic groups.
The Aerdi (eastern Oeridians in general) regard Heironeous and Hextor as the primary source of legitimacy, with Zilchus and Pholtus secondary.
The Keogh (southern Oeridians) regard Celestian and Fairlane as the highest, with Pholtus secondary.
The Velondi (eastern Oeridians) originally held Delleb and Lirr as paramount, but they have been supplanted by Cuthbert and Haironeous with Zilchus retaining a position in Dyvers.
The Nehri (northern Oeridians) regarded the Velaeri as supreme with Pholtus secondary, but have absorbed Haironeanism from the Aerdi.
The Yorodhi (central Oeridians who remained among the Baklunish) claim Kurell and Erythnul as well as Procan as progenitors, though of course they are far from any ocean. The Yorodhi preference for Erythnul, notably quite evil, has connotations for their relations with the Uli, and may have affected development of the Chakyik, Wegwiur, and older Paynims.
