Editing Othea (section)

==Othea's Progeny==
Although Annam had already fathered the lesser gods Stronmaus, Hiatea, Grolantor, Iallanis, Memnor and Skoraeus by one or more unknown mothers, it was on Othea that the All-Father begat the bulk of the giantish pantheon; Ruk, Obadai, Ottar, Masud, Nicias, Vilmos, Lanaxis, and Arno/Julian were all born of Othea and Annam. These entities were presumably demigods like their mother, and were the direct progenitors of the giantish races; Ruk of the Hill Giants, Obadai of the Stone Giants, Ottar of the Frost Giants, Masud of the Fire Giants, Nicias of the Cloud Giants, Vilmos of the Storm Giants, Lanaxis of the [[Titan]]s, and Arno/Julian of the [[Ettin]]s. 

But Othea disliked sharing her bed with Annam, and sought love elsewhere. From a dalliance with [[Vaprak]], she gave birth to the [[ogre]] race. With her true lover, Ulutiu, she gave birth to three new giant-like races; the [[firbolg]]s, the [[verbeeg]]s, and the [[fomorian]]s.

Othea also had another son, Dunmore, the progenitor of the [[voadkyn]]. Originally, she managed to delude Annam into thinking that Dunmore was one of his sons, but it was ultimately revealed that Dunmore was one of Ulutiu's bastards, if not the first of them.

Then there was Othea's final son, Hartkiller, begotten on her by Annam with the aid of magic.

Nobody knows the true origins of the [[cyclops]] race; whilst they desperately claim to be children of Annam, the true giants instead believe that they are the result of one of Othea's dalliances, if not yet another of Ulutiu's bastard lineages.

If you're counting, that means that Othea confirmably gave birth to 14 kids; nine by Annam, four by Ulutiu, and one by Vaprak. As well as possibly a 15th by either Ulutiu or another being.
