I think one of the reasons why the Uleria the Planet is seen as Lewd is because She is in the Sky the whole time. Also the Dara Happans believe that Change=Disorder under normal circumstances so given that the planet normally represents motion in everybody's eyes, it is not really suprising that the Dara Happans equate her with Uleria the Goddess of Disorder.

Please do.

Probably the West and/or the Theyalan Grey Sages. The Elder Secrets Night Sky written from the viewpoint of the God Learners so I think that their teachings would live on (in a purified form) in these two cultures.
