To my mind occurs the viking reaction to homosexuality: the passive partner is not considered 'manly man' no more. This could well be the case in Sartar. Ulerian temples would very likely then have lots of male initiates. I think even then the two sexes would have different positions and statuses in temple hierarchy, just what they would be, I have no idea.

I always had in my campaign the Ulerians sell anti-pregnangy roots and stuff like that. (I have no faintes idea what people used in RW medieval times.) Curiously the female PC's ended up being the sole purchasers! Well, we had some lucky fathers.

Talking to the priestess from behind a curtain sounds familiar.
