Answering my own question, I found this on the Issaries website:
Lunar Suppression of the Cult of Orlanth
By Jeff Richard and Greg Stafford
Here is some information that we've put together, extracted from
various correspondance, that we think may be of interest to other
fans.
To suppress the cult of Orlanth, the Lunars started in Boldhome and
the cities and they closed the Great Temple of Orlanth Rex. They put
guards on the mountaintops up above Boldhome and extinguished the
Sacred Flame of Sartar. They then went to the tribal centers and
closed the temples there. Later they tried to destroy the rocks and
sacred boundary markers.
[snip]
By 1619, there was no resistance to the Lunars at a tribal level. Only
Whitewall remained - the last center of Orlanth worship amongst the
Heortlings.
Now this implies that the ban dates from after the fall of Boldhome. Or is it just that the suppression of Orlanth IN SARTAR dates from after the fall of Boldhome? How long has Orlanth worship been banned in Tarsh for example? Has rebellion in Sartar prompted an Empire-wide ban or has an Empire-wide ban prompted rebellion in Sartar?
