And also, wasn't it mentioned in Issola that the gods are actually a combination of many different types of beings, some are even Jenoine who threw their lot in with the 'rebels' at the time of Kieron? >which is no doubt where we can > determine why she has an issue with them which seems to be why she is > at first glance to be though of as one of the Gods when someone hangs out in the Paths, sits with the gods, has Barlen for an enemy/lover, etc, i think it's *fairly* safe to assume she's a god.... she was certainly a goddess in Brokedown Palace. (Until she was ousted from Fenario) > Devera is the offsrping or embodiment of Bolk (from Brokedown palace, > the Taltos horse) and Verra. i suppose the fact that Bolk opposes Verra doesn't mean much, lol. And, possibly even the fact that Barlen is Verra's lover means even less. However, I have a theory-query of my own........how about that Aliera was pregnant when she was 'displaced' at Adron's disaster. By Mario, of course. This leads to interesting possibilities about Devera's birth and subsequent level of talents and abilities. lisa grant coffin
