Snoish and Er, the Duality of the Hearth

Other Names

• Chnowisch and Är (Äklo and Ranndau goliaths)
• Schnösch and Är (Sörsch firbolgs)
• Snovisc and Er (Ditinci humans)
• Snøsh and Ër (Dud humans)
• Snowisc and Er (Calpii and Dolobei)

Though they manifest as two individuals, Snoish and Er are simply two sides of a single, dualistic deity. They represent the forces that are in play to make home and hearth. Typically, Er (who represents the hunter/gatherer/warrior/farmer) is masculine while Snoish (who represents teaching, nurturing, birth, cooking, etc.) is feminine, but this is not always the case, as the Duality of the Hearth only cares that all the roles are filled, not by whom.

As a result, though they are worshipped by the Dolobei, they are unhappy in many ways with that people, due to their intolerant moralism.
