I had an idea it was (in Esrolia) one per element, but since I don't know where I got that idea from (and it's far too tidy to be true!), probably forget it. Any male god capable of protecting her in some way, I expect. "Male" and "chieftain" aren't concepts that go together in Esrolia anyway.

And ISTR a myth that implies that Humakt is the father of Babs Gor, which sounds seriously weird.

Take a look at the Esrolia Homeland in the HQ main book - there's all sorts of weirdness in there! Yes, Vinga as Soldier, not as warrior. Must be a very different Vinga from the one we know in Sartar. Wasn't someone - Jennifer? looking into how that would work, at one time?
