So now the campfire is actually an manifestation of the earth element? More importantly Mahome isn't associated with Lodril but with Ernalda (TR p189) and Veskarthen. She is still a fire god in the same way that Yavor Lightning is a sky god and Helamakt is a water God.

Why should we rationalise it? Gustbran is a son of Veskarthen and Oakfed is a Praxian spirit.

He polluted himself and changed. Veskarthen's parentage is unknown but in an Orlanthi myth, he calls himself a son of Ga.
