An Orlanthi would be able to worship the Goddess but one cannot worship Orlanth at the same time. A Tarshite could worship Ernalda or Barntar as well as the Goddess but Orlanth himself is an implaccable foe. Within the Empire, there are plenty of storm deities and sons of Orlanth who can be invoked for their aerial powers. As a result of the Imperial conquest of South Peloria, these gods have become emphasized at the expense of directly worshipping Orlanth himself.

If so, it's taking an inordinately long time to come about. Sylila has been Lunarized for yonks but the vast majority of its citizens are still recognizably Orlanthi.

I think both Heartlanders and Tarshites have their good sides and bad when dealing with the Sartarites. The problem is that currently they are squabbling for control and the Sartarites are getting the worst of both worlds.

OTOH they are more likely to do so as a result of deliberate government policy. "Crucify the usual suspects".
