It is possible to worhsip her in propitiatory, rather than active form. But it's actively discouraged. maybe it is chaotic, just a lot less likely to turn the worshipers chaotic than active worship? Anyway, CoT is too old to be automatically definitive and are you now saying Malia isn;t chaotic either?

While these are all old, there's a lot in the HW/HQ material that describe Krarsht as chaotic.

I was wondering about this. Is Dendara part of the earth tribe anymore? I seem to remember that the story was once that Yelm was married to Ernalda and married Dendara after she followed him to Hell and he gave faithless Ernalda the flick. I seem to remember Dendara being Enralda's sister. This was Yelmic as well as Orlanthi belief, I think. Has this changed? Matching this earth Dendara with the Entekosiad seems a bit of a stretch...
But, while intersting, that's by the by to the dicussion of Krarsht - HW/HQ stuff desrcibes her as chaotic.
