Yeah I was thinking along those lines, thanks to the comments here. Specifically for my orcs. Altearth orcs came into the world during the later Roman Empire and have adopted that model. They have their own emperor. But they're also monotheistic, so we get a form of Caesaro-papism there. I'm picturing the orc priests (shamans) praying to the sun god as a technique for discerning truth. All orcs would certainly believe in this and as you say would adjust behavior accordingly. This power would have the weight of both the emperor and the priesthood (shamanhood?) behind it. Easily abused, too. And of course outsiders wouldn't believe in it.
More fodder!
