There is also a Solar Ernalda who is one of Yelm's concubines and
the Yelmalian Ernalda who is the wife of Yelmalio. Both had a
fling with the rebel Orlanth but did not marry him.
So I would conclude that an Ernaldan who was married to an Orlanthi
would be very unlikely to join a Lunar cult of any sort. Equally
there is nothing in the Earth or Lunar cults to prevent Ernaldans
joining Lunar cults.
Bearing in mind there are Lunar favouring clans among the tribes
of Sartar I'm sure it happens. Probably in a similar manner to
that described for Tarsh.
