The mythology and culture of Esrolia comes back to Imarja again and again, and Imarja's mythology doesn't seem to fit the rest of the heortling stuff... or anything else really. She is described as a creator of life, and all in all like a great goddess and progenitor worthy of taking the place of Makan... but at the same time she's actually clearly a local goddess, not a pan-gloranthan power.
The best explanation that I heard is that Imarja was a Storm Age
preacher from Vithela (some sort of Keet) that preached mysticism to the
Esrolian Grandmothers and they misunderstood.
