My understanding is that Maran is the active earth, Ernalda the passive. Maran is earthquakes, landslides, the savage mother defending her brood; Ernalda is nurturing, healing, the mother who plans for the future - looking to her children.
Maran has a number of aspects, which we cover in In Wintertop's Shadow.

No Maran has children, many are immense dinosaur-like
creatures that shake the earth as Maran did. Some of
her aspects have magic to exchange blood for
fertility.

This I believe has been swapped. Babeester is now the
barren defender of the earth.
