Foreign ways of worshiping Uleria are probably taking hold in places. My Enfrewstead has Ulerians hanging out having a picnic while the place burns. The Pharaoh kept them around and now that he's gone, they just spend their time being indolent and refined.
And the third way is the threat of every clan girl who just can't be what the Heortlings want her to be. "If I can't marry Hreothgard, I'm running off to Alda-Chur to be an Ulerian!" Oh misery, shame and scandal in the family.
