The Red Lady was a goddess in the pantheon of the indigenous inhabitants of Detina. Even before coming into conflict with the gods of the ethnic Detinans, her pantheon was weak, and she and her fellow gods could barely protect their worshipers from night spirits and ghouls, causing the blonds to develop an age-old superstition. When the ethnic Detinans arrived from the mother kingdom, the superiority of the Lion God, the Thunderer, and other gods from across the Western Ocean became apparent, and within a few generations even the blonds did not worship the indigenous pantheon. Ethnic Detinans thought of them contemptuously, if at all.
