Why the Lunar? You are talking about an ordinate or higher of the Dakkasinoda and Dakkahoneel subcult of Hon-Eel. How likely are they to betray everything they have committed to? I reckon the Lunar involved is a thief of some sort who's stolen the equipment and a copy the ritual for Kallyr to use. I'd agree Kallyr can't do the earth magic herself but the HQer is going to require a pretty strong guard. Given her skills I'd suggest she's planning to ambush the Lunar priestesses on the HP and take over the sacrifice. So yes, the priestess of Esrola is the person she's trying to convince. And it's a priestess of the specific subcult for whatever grain they are trying to introduce not simply an earth priestess. Otherwise she'd have got Ernaldesta to do it. Which makes the man we can see her husband - he isn't happy but is deferring to his wife because it's women's magic.
And the reason Kallyr is sitting on that chair is to convince the priestess it's safe. Actually all she's done is convince the priestess that Kallyr hasn't a clue about what she's proposing.
