David Cake replies to Mikko RE: Uleria in the Yelm Pantheon:

>My interpretation is that the Pelorians revere Uleria and have for a
very long time. The Dara Happans know of the cult, and are forced to acknowledge it, but the uptight sensibilities of the Yelmites and Dayzatarians, etc. make them see the cult as morally iniquitous. It is thus a well known religion, but considered scandalous for noble men to worship, while beloved of the lower orders and excitable teenagers of a romantic temperament.

Here, here, David. Well put. The thing to remember about the Solar pantheon relative to the Orlanthi pantheon, is that while the Orlanthi deities are usually one big, happy family, the Solars deities more resemble the dysfunctional, divided souls featured in the finer soap-operas. While the Orlanthi deities can usually come to basic agreements about any given topic, (Chaos bad, Love good) the Solars are bound to have at least two radically different viewpoints on most any topic. The Solars are a panthon of extremes and opposites who depend on each other: Yelm-Lodril, Yelm/Antirius-Shargash, Uleria - Dendara, etc.

The Lunars, with their emphasis on accomodating all viewpoints, got their start partly within these guys - and were the Solars were the first society they had to conquer.

Dazed from 30 or so Daily's -
