Last January, I would have said there are six places for the six goddesses: Asrelia, Ty Kora Tek, Ernalda, Babeester Gor (first 'a' short or long as desired - Greg apparently prefers both), Voria and Maran Gor. More details could be found in Wyrms Footprints 'Goddesses of the Earth'.
Unfortunately since then Greg posted a myth which said that Asrelia had three daughters: Ernalda, Marangor and Esrolia. Marangor is our feared Maran Gor, but Esrola is the goddess of the earth's bounty (food, kids, lust and blood) whereas Ernalda now becomes the goddess of the spiritual earth "whose power is not found in solid things, but in actions, rules, ceremonies, music and familial care."
Now although it's not stated on the webpage concerned, Shannon has said that it's a myth from Harmast's Saga. So this myth could be a relic of earlier times before the God Learners (who ruled Esrola for a while) dicked around.
