Gern is the youngest of the Wild Gods, created by Zokthis at Tyani's reqeust for a consort. Zokthis bade his second child carve whatever mate she would have into stone, and he would bring it to life just as she brought life to the first plants. Gern was the result, and he retains both his earthy nature and his love for Tyani to the present day. The father of the dwarves, Gern is on extremely good terms with Gulzek (who strove to defend the Lady of the Waves from Dezzik's untoward advances.) The rape of Tyani is Gern's single greatest failure, and he has sworn to exact his revenge a thousand times upon the Thirster for his crimes, and many dwarves even believe that he has been withholding souls from goblin newborns since that day.
