Which begs the question: How many dismembered gods are there? I'd forgotten about Genert (he's the one for whom Issaries followers take hyena pelts into the Wastes, right?); there's Nysalor/Gbaji, and Belintar. Anyone I'm missing? Was Sedenya once dismembered, or "just" dead/missing?
Now I have this image of a lonely, tortured god with mismatched parts, walking across the moors at night....
