You're forgetting that ordinates are relatively rare in Lunar society. So they have status that they lose by turning traitor. A Heortling can gain status by selling out to the Lunars and may even do so without betraying their cult. Sure there will be individuals who will have grudges and so on but they won't be common.

That'll be how she thinks - I don't think it's actually true. We know that the Godlearners goddess switch caused crop failure because the grain didn't grow in the different area. This is probably one of the arguments being used against Kallyr.
Looking at it in game terms the PC priestess isn't the only possibility for Kallyr - there should be an NPC one as well. Then the PC has to decide how far to push things before Kallyr goes off and gets someone more co-operative to do it. Or maybe they gang up on Kallyr and get her to do it their way.

She was probably the first person to tell Kallyr that she didn't know enough to try. Just as Kallyr can swap from Vinga Vangarth to Vinga Dar Ernaldesta could swap to Esra. I'm inclined to think that Ernaldans do that more than Orlanthi.
