What has Lankor got to do with it?

Maybe mixed parentage is a good explanation, but I don't see any reason to exclude the possibility of parthanogenetic descent in any Praxian or Heortling myth. After all Norse myth and culture has some similarities with the Heortling's, and they believe Ymir was the parthenogenetic parent of several gods, goddesses and a whole bunch of giants.
