Ernalda Talosa
The Mother of Serpents
Ernalda met and mated with many beings and produced an abundance of life. Among those she encountered was Hykim, Father of Beasts, and with him, Ernalda became or gave birth to Talosa, Mother of Serpents, and all snakes descend from her. Talosa is the power of rebirth and immortality. She never died during the Darkness but burrowed her way through the Earth to the Underworld to wait for the Lightbringers.20 Her initiates raise, tend, and charm snakes and divine the omens and words of Ernalda. Those skilled in divination are known as the Seers of Kev.
