Thanks to pointing me to this discussion. From a quick
read: It sounds like the Whitewall group thought that
Barntar was killed while Orlanth was in exile, and
Orlanth deposed and crippled Vadrus after he got back.
The group also seemed to think that it didn't take any
legal process or the like to get him back, there was
just a time limit on his exile.

The reason I was interested: My character is one of
several in the Seattle Farmers Sartar game that wants
to get revenge on the Tarshite royal dynasty for
killing her grandfather. The idea would be to define
the dynasty as Vadrus -- the member of the Storm Tribe
who went bad, exiled Orlanth, and was ultimately
destroyed trying to master Chaos rather than defeat
it. Returning Orlanth from exile, as a heroquest,
seemed like one way that we could strengthen Orlanthi
opponents of the dynasty.
