Speaking as someone who married one...
(and latest family history suggests Vortigern and the princes of Powys are part of my ancestry, which may or may not tell us something)...
Given that the Orlanthi are at least in part a Celt/Norse mix analogue, why on earth not??

Nope.

Don't think WW has space for any more empresses.

But not for long :(

More interesting! But do we want a shrew?

Yep! Orlanthi! :)

Does that work for your Kathy?
I'm not familiar enough with the Lunar cults... But how about someone on the Lunar side, but *so* sweet, nice, pure, etc. that she can actually get away with wandering around *both* sides? Sounds like a healer on first glance, to me. Also sounds like too much of a cliché at the moment, but I'm sure that won't last.
