In Unspoken Word 1, Simon Bray came up with the linked cults of
Asella (grand-daughter of Asrelia, who fell in love with Gustbran)
and Torkal (her son), as mining deities - essentially Asella's magic
is about finding the best place to mine, blessing the mineshaft,
appeasing the earth, while Torkal is the burly miner.
