Taal, Lord of Nature, and Rhya, Mother of the Earth, are dual deities who are worshipped across the Old World as the Gods of nature. They were once worshipped as a single deity known as Ishernos, a nature God. Over time however Ishernos began to have a masculine aspect in winder and Summer but a feminine aspect in Spring and Autumn. Thus Ishernos became to be worshipped as two separate deities.
