I was prompted by Peter's reference to Thunder Rebbels to read up the Zenfel(sp?) myth, and couldn't help reading about The Red God, Jagrekriand. Umath fights Jagrekriand, and they are both destroyed, in fact Jagrekriand is broken into many pieces.

So now two ages of the world are ended by the physical destruction of a red god, who is broken into many pieces, and the way gods and mortals relate to each other changes forever - again.
And in both cases a funny white god (Zenfel & Zaytenera) nobody knows much about is seen hanging around in the background.
Hmmmm...
