KoS:

"Goddess of Love, she is the most ancient deity living, and the reason that the world was saved from destruction."

I admit that Heortlings could think that she is the Goddess of Lust instead, but then I'd have to figure out a reason for that. Why would the Heortlings think otherwise. Dara Happan influence? No appreciation for love? Or is Orlanth/Ernalda the only bond that they will tolerate in their society? I don't think so.

Priestesess of Uleria don't have a bad name because they aren't housebrakers. Encouraging love doesn't hurt your rep. Maybe they could get into some trouble in trying to woo the clan ring to accept love marriages (like in KoPD) over ones agreed upon.

Love, not Lust.
