Ah, I wasn't sure and it doesn't say on the Wiki. In fact I wonder if we aren't too quick to use Vinga Dar rather than Orendana.

With the history Oliver wrote for her? it's cram full of Ernaldan magic although she may be Asrelia/Ty Kora Tek now. She may not be a high profile priestess but that doesn't mean she hasn't got powerful magic. And it's just the sort of earth magic that's going to be needed.

Most powerful individual quite possibly but the Volsaxi priestess's will be drawing on tribal and clan support, when there are earth rituals to do they'll be the ones doing them not an outsider. In fact the reason Benava is spending her time feuding with Kallyr could be that the Volsaxi women are excluding her.
