Samar's bear-god

De nek okral

"Strictly speaking,"  said Traveller, "not an okral.  Den nek …"  he raised his brows.  "'Short nose?'"

"How should I know?"  Samar Dev snapped.

His brows lifted higher.

"I don't know where those words came from.  They just … arrived."

"They were Imass, Samar Dev."

Traveller was still studying her, and she wanted to snarl at him.  When he spoke, his tone was calm.  "The old gods of war are returning."

"War?  The god of war?  That was Fener, wasn't it?  The Boar."

 "Fener, Togg, Fanderay, Treach, and,"  he shrugged,  "De nek Okral – who can say how many once existed.  They arose, I would imagine, dependent on the environment of the worshippers – whatever beast was supreme predator, was the most savage –" (TtH)
