Hmm. While I will concede that she's a land goddess, wouldn't there be
significant differences from the other land goddesses? She's a mountain
goddess without much in the way of agriculture; she probably has some
dominion over gnomes and sylphs because of her topography; she's the mother
of the King of the Gods; and her earthly manifestation, Wintertop, is the
tallest mountain in all of Genertela. Surely this has some effect upon her
cult?

Hmm. At first I saw no reason to doubt this, but after some time to
contemplate, I wonder if the Cannibal Queen's status might not be due in
part to the patronage of Kero Fin.
