Except that she is noted as the holder of the fertility rune both currently
& originally. The only original runeholder still functioning in that
capacity. (RQ3 Deluxe p243)
Which could also be the answer to Andrew's question

as she has been holding the fertility rune effectivly for ever & is the essence of it according to RQ3.

Ah. Great suggestion. Thanks.

I think I agree with all but the 'generic distaff' bit. Uleria's usurpation
of the fertility roles of Ernalda would free the Ernaldan rep to deal with
all the other aspects of the female side of the clan. Just as her presence
would cause

(Me)it would also cause its opposite & so re-inforce the clan cohesion
functions of Ernalda, although at some point this is bound to be negated.
Having battered away at this I find my position (revised in light of
recieved crits) to be much better stated by David Cake.

Darvall- surname but also the one by which I am called by all but my parents; that would be just too confusing. Pinching the Tilnae idea as a sort of 'Love Elemental'
