Oakfed is one name for the entity, and another is Dagaralobran. The latter
defines a set of powers and relationships with the Great Spirit of
Wildfire. It is a practice that allows Kolatings to deal with those spirits.
Oakfed is a bigger entity, which is why Praxians have other ways to worship
it (and get other powers and relationships.)
