Nobody knows Molanni. In Dara Happan myth she features just once as a foreign deity and that's in a dismissive way. She doesn't appear in their most ancient and trustworthy (albeit also the most misinterpreted) record of deities.

If I were to place Molanni in Dara Happa, I would make her a bad daughter of Entekos because Vadrus's place is not so far away.

I dunno where the officially comes from because the runes of cold, heat and light are explicitly mentioned on p120 of HQ2.
