A long time ago there was talk of how, if one could actually see Orlanth in his truest aspect for the holder of the storm rune, it would not be a young warrior or a fatherly man but a terrifying, soul blasting, maelstorm of raw energy. Enough to quite literally destroy a mortal mind just by it's presense.

And Uleria is at least as primal as that, being a survivor of the Celestial Court.

Then again, most people are not blasted insane by worship of Orlanth (Lunar claims nonwithstanding). At least in my take of Esrolia young people often worship Uleria, and this certainly gives them something like medium artillery for the "battle of the sexes". :)
