"Furthermore, in all Pelanda, all women born of mothers are said to have a denegeria to protect them when they are little girls." FaElsor and the Serpent: Entek 10 (Wendaria) DenegEria was born of the union of FaElsor (the First Mother) and Ursturburn the Serpent (the life-power that ripens). She is said to later be kidnapped by GanEstoro, the Dark God, thus causing the world to grow baren. She was saved by VenegDel, the Burning Hare, the fire that burns within people, who is the son of Turos. The Eldest Peoples: Entek 12 (Wendaria) "The things which we humans can couple productively with are all human people. Humans are those creatures with whom our kind bears children. We are thus all the same this way - in the way that we manifest the DenegEria and the Eldest Powers. We are the People of Life (DaviEria)." The Gods Third Error: Entek 36 (The Three Errors) Vogestes truely saw killing for the first time. "He felt the knife as DenegEria was carved apart by the gods, and he wept as her blood soaked into the earth." Mother of 80: Entek 46 (High Pelanda) DenegEria is said to be the first child of Oria, the Great Mother, by Turos. "The golden child blessed Oria with her sacred presence, and all of the Striped Ones worshipped her." The Freed Sky: Entek 67 (Darkness and Resurection) Turos ended the Darkness by freeing the Musician, "leading his lover and bringing music back to the world." Later, the Musician played before a lightless cave mouth and DenegEria emerged to restore life to the world. All the gods and goddesses of the land followed Her back into the world. The Marching Scourge: Entek 83 (The Bisos Cycle) "After DenegEria was murdered, all of the world went into mourning. The trees, rocks, and beasts of the wild all wept. If something had connections with Life in any way, it wept. Thus, only some demons, devils, and evil people did not weep." |

FS 94 (Carmanian Sources) Ganesatarus, the Dark God, is born from the womb of Uleria, the First Goddess. His Younger twin was Idovanus, the Light God. Ganesatarus is the god of dissention. Ganesatarus quarreled his way into being born first, so Dark always proceeds Light. In the battle, Ganesatarus (as the Dark Dragon) plucks out Idovanus' eye - which is now the Sun.
