( ... Yet. Oh dear. That could explain some of the weirdness involving Devera's conception nicely.) She clearly has genes, of some sort. And if one accepts that godhood is a quality one can gain, there's no reason to believe Verra isn't *still* whatever she was before, except with the godhood added on - she's still got a physical body, after all. (Some of the other gods, it's not so clear. One could argue that Nyssa, for example, is a dismebodied soul.) > You're overthinking this. Oh, but the overthinking is half the fun! ^_^
