There's got to be more to it than that. When Orlanth left the world and
passed into the underworld, so did Lhankor Mhy, Issaries, Chalana Arroy,
and Eurmal - and none of them 'die' in the Fumbulwinter. So what was
done was clearly more specific and directed than 'just' recreating the
Great Darkness, and the question of why Ernalda was affected remains.
'They're married' doesn't make much sense to me as an answer, although I
believe it is the official one. Our Gloranthas Will Vary, and all that :)
