So far as I know, he serves double duty. It does seem a bit odd, given the
number of obscure deities out there (e.g. I suspect there are more crafters
than men who wish to give birth). I suspect there may well be deities for
specific crafts (Ernalda's regalia is the loom, but one of her handmaids is
probably the Goddess of Weaving).

Does anyone know when Jrustela was colonized (the approximate year, I know
it was First Age)?

Why where there 13 colonies -- are these simply different cities sprinkled
around the (then larger) island?
