It's a good guess that Uleria is a Great Goddess, who is so large that she must be worshipped through aspects or sub cults, rather than directly.

So in Pelanda, there might be a "Kassa" aspect that stresses the metaphorical and cosmic aspects of unification, a "Urenes and Turuka" for faithful couples, a "Delderia" aspect for romantics and a "Volangia" aspect for the sex-mad.

Uleria is evidently a resilient goddess, and there have been no end of uptight rulers and hierarchies that have unsuccessfully try to suppress her. I guess "Delderia" and "Volangia" aspects would be the most threatening to hierarchies.
