I was under the impression that the Goddess was a variation of Gorgorma as the male priest is a eunuch. But the Hungry Goddess is a face of the Malign Earth and one can easily say that Maran Gor and Gorgorma are variants of the Hungry Goddess. Furthermore only one city in Mondoro claims the Hungry Goddess as Patron.

A goddess just like her IMO.

The Kimotans speak a wholely distinct language from most Fonritans and are confined to the region of Thinokos. The Mondorans speak a dialect of Fonritan which is stated to have the strongest aboriginal influences (ie of the Veldang Empire).
Thus I don't think the Hungry Goddess comes from Kimos and furthermore I note that the Maran Gor cult writeup states that _one_ powerful tribe holds her as a patron.

Jaskal is the God of Dinosaurs in Slon so I guess Tarien or even Wongarasi is more probable.
