Other Cultures' Equivalent of Wyter

As far as I understand, wyters are a Orlanthi- or Theyalan-specific cultural concept, and not a "Glorantha-wide" concept (like, say, Runes). This made me wonder: plenty of other groups have spirits, demigods, deities, genus loci, ancestors, etc. that maintain active obligations with respect to a specific group of people. Are there any known specific terms for these in cultures beside the Orlanthi? "City God" seems like a fairly generic term that can be found pretty much everywhere, for example, but I don't know enough about RQ game mechanics (and the weird intersection of mechanics and lore that subtly vary between game systems like HQ, RQ & 13th Age, if I understand it correctly) to really see whether all of these deities ACT like an Orlanthi wyter would.

Non-human examples are also welcome. I suppose the Aldryami in particular would have some almost-but-not-quite similarities, but that's just speculation on my part.
