Kallyr's HQ stats were published for the year 1622 in Orlanth is Dead, and for 1624 in "Gathering Thunder". In both cases, these may be regarded as "short-hand" stats, concentrating on keywords and the specific skills relevant to those scenarios. Her actual detailed character sheet would, I'm sure, be a small book. After all, this is the equivalent of a PC who's been playing a scenario a game-week for twenty game-years. (that's 42*20=840) Lots of HPs earnt and spent (say 5 per scenario, 4200, and I think I'm underestimating things there). Mainly on Relationships, I suspect.
The Whitewall Group needs her stats for 1619: and I'd be quite interested in earlier years, too. So let's start with a comparison.

| Brilliant inspiration | 1W3 | 7W3 | 6 |

| Heortling warrior | 7W | 9W | 2 |
| Loyal to followers | 15W2 | 15W2 | none |

So over two years, several of Kallyr's abilities have gone up by about 5 points (total of 35) The translation from HW to HQ has perhaps confused her CC rating, and her shifting her primary initiation from Dar to Rigsdal has undoubtedly confused her affinity levels.
In the same period, her followers seem to have increased most of their abilities and keywords by about 2 points (totals of 9,11,2,5) Maybe they aren't earning HP as fast as her. More likely, to my mind, they're burning almost all their HP on keeping her out of trouble :)
It would seem a fair guess to me that roughly the same level of change would occur between 1619 and 1622.
Kallyr is of course "only" an initiate, but with affinity ratings that high, who cares about a -5? She can therefore improvise the "standard" feats from each affinity. Since we know her Starbrow (7W2 rating) gives her an augment to all Rigsdal magic, personally I'd use that to give her access to the other Rigsdal affinities that she doesn't have herself. Maybe at a hefty negative modifier, but even at -20, that's still 7W. Useful. I mean, if she can't do Rigsdal magic, who can??? And of course she almost certainly has some extra stand-alone feats. We have evidence for one in "Gathering Thunder", and I have my suspicions about a few more.
To save us all the hassle of looking up feat lists in assorted books, here's the collection
| Affinity | Source | Rating 1622 | Feats | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Combat | Vinga Dar initiate | 15W | Deadly Spear Throw, Fight against Rapist, Fight against Uz, Leaping Shield, Mile Javelin Throw, Spear Help | Storm Tribe p174 |
| Lead Tribe | Vinga Dar initiate | 15W | Cast out of tribe, instill pride, invoke wyter, protect tula, sense dishonor | Thunder Rebels p232 |
| Movement | Vinga Dar initiate | 15W | Burst of Speed, Dodge Missiles, Leap over Water, Run on Treetop, Run upon Snow | Storm Tribe p174 |
| Vigilance | Rigsdal initiate | 4W2 | Hear any sound, ignore distraction, night vision, see far, sleep with one eye open | Storm tribe p230 |
| Plus the extra Rigsdal ones that she may have access to through her Starbrow. Personal SFX when I'm writing about her: if she's using it, it glows. As a straight augment, it's just a glow, if it's an active ability, it gets brighter. | ||||
| Combat | Rigsdal Starbrow | 7W2 minus ??? | Falling star javelin, fight chaos, fight uz, illuminate battlefield, stay at your post | Storm tribe p230 |
| Night watchman | Rigsdal Starbrow | 7W2 minus ??? | Awakening shout, remind of duty, resist doubts, resist temptation, sense approaching enemy | Storm tribe p230 |
| Honour (Humakt subcult) | Rigsdal Starbrow | 7W2 minus ??? | Identify traitor, see past illusion | Storm tribe p104 |
| Light (Elmal subcult) | Rigsdal Starbrow | 7W2 minus ??? | Clear clouds, look into brightness | Storm tribe p104 |

| Standalone and "extra" feats | ||||

| Movement | ? | ? | Run/walk on mud. The amount of time she spent in the notoriously muddy Far Place, she must have picked this up, surely? | none |
