Well after adding comments on two wikia-pages I was told that this is a better place for my speculations, so sorry for misposting them.. =/

Anyways, here are my two speculations concerning Ivala & her Church =)

1.) There are only females in high positions. I understand it for the absolute top of the church (since Ivala seems female it makes sense if her cult-leaders are also females), but a priest in Ardford claims that when he joined men could reaise in the church hirarchy, so I *think* the women only thing was put in place during the Incubus war and is probably coupled with the chastity spell (maybe the spell can only control if the priestess is a virgin or so, little idea there ^^')

2a.) (This one is a tad more far-fetched, admittetly =P)  I think Ivala herself will become the "Other" harem member and is in fact connected to the original Lustlord. There are two females next to the statue of the Lustlord in the Gathering area (roughly between the two sleeping buidlings). Also, Sarai mentiones that there are similarities between the Succubus religion and old Ivala texts and also explains that the anti-sexuality of the current church is younger than the texts (if I understand her correctly). The other thing that is weird with Ivala is that her chosen -imbued with devine power and gifted more ..understanding after battle- are all perverted idiots which would become a second Estevan if they would actually succeed instead of actual capable candidates (like... Simon). Add to that bit the fact that she calms Carina down after she feels darkness in Simon (first meeting) and also seems to urge her to become corruptet -and thus part of Simons harem- during the Invasion-arc. This goddess is *not* interested in purity.. Also, Sierra gave her a *very* prominent spot in the game-logo, that has to mean something =P

2b. ) Another crazy theory about Ivala (but shorter this time =P). Ginasta is her Avatar or daughter. ^^
