Neither. But the cult of Diros is very important in Nochet.

Esrolian politics are based on the rule of the Grandmothers and their clans. Grandmothers may try to recruit foreign gods to aid them; sometimes this is successful but usually any Grandmother who increases her status will find herself on the receiving end of a coalition of the other Grandmothers.

I can't emphasize enough that Esrolia: The Land of Ten Thousand Goddesses is THE source book on Esrolia. Just like GRoY is THE source book on Dara Happa.
