I never cared for that myth. I preferred the idea of Babeester Gor emerging from the Earth as the Avenging Earth, covered in Ernalda's Blood and carrying Death, which she took from Zorak Zoran. 

The Avenging Earth springing from the Earth to defend the Earth, far more mythical than having another Death God as her father.
