While I don't have direct from-Orlanth word that this is so, my understanding from various FAQs and personal experience is that it helps, although some of this may just be omen formation. It's also true that Uralda is widely regarded as one of the most difficult heroquests, although Ernalda remains my particular nemesis -- in 8 of 9 attempts, I could not get past the initial challenge. Which, to my great annoyance, the myth makes no reference to or give any aid to -- the first time you run Ernalda, it's a complete guessing game as to what the correct option is. In fact, the first SEVERAL times you run Ernalda, you might still be in the dark, since all options tend to lead to a dead, lost, or "returned to holy circle" quester. Bah.
