Flamal<br />

Father <strong>of</strong> Seeds<br />

Flamal is the first plant and grew upon the slopes <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Spike. In the Green Age, he fathered all the plant life in<br />

the world with a variety <strong>of</strong> goddesses. Every plant from<br />

those found in the depths <strong>of</strong> the sea to the l<strong>of</strong>tiest pines<br />

on the mountains is his descendant as are nearly all crop<br />

and plant goddesses. Flamal was slain by Zorak Zoran<br />

and his death ushered in the Great Hunger as all the Earth<br />

Goddesses went into mourning for him. He was reborn<br />

along with so many others when Time began, bringing<br />

fertility and happiness to all.<br />

Flamal is the god <strong>of</strong> seeds and by extension, all plants.<br />

Flamal is not worshipped by those who tend crops or<br />

herbs, but he is popular among the elves, who trace their<br />

descent from him. He is depicted as a wise old man<br />

covered in myriad sprouts or as a tree with many different<br />

fruits – in both cases, he is usually carved from amber.<br />

Temples are usually shrines though minor temples or<br />

even major temples are found in elf forests. Hrelar Amali<br />

in Tarinwood is one <strong>of</strong> the largest. Shrines to Flamal<br />

Gorgorma<br />

Keeper <strong>of</strong> Secret, Terror, and Eater<br />

Gorgoram <strong>of</strong> the Two Mouths is the hideous and awful<br />

sister <strong>of</strong> kindly Dendara. She dwells in deep shadows and<br />

ghastly creatures are at her beck and call. She respects her<br />

dutiful sister’s will and so long as Yelm respects her sister<br />

and remains a just husband, she keeps her venom and<br />

hatred in check. Every evening after dinner, Gorgorma<br />

silently comes to the gates <strong>of</strong> Yelm’s celestial palace and<br />

the Guardians always admit her. She lurches through the<br />

glowing halls until she reaches the tapestried chambers<br />

<strong>of</strong> Dendara, the Good Goddess. There, Gorgorma and<br />

Dendara sit together and play chess.<br />
