Burn, The Sleeping Goddess

 

Burn, Lady of the Earth, the Sleeping Goddess (GotM, Glossary)

 

'...the sleeping goddess – young as far as the Jaghut Tyrant (Raest) was concerned.' (GotM, UK Trade, p.437)

 

'A vagueley human-shaped figure towered over him, nearly fifteen times the wizard's own height, its bulk nearly reaching the cavern's domed ceiling. Dark flesh of clay studded with rough diamonds gleamed and glittered as the apparition shifted slightly.'

Quick Ben.. I am indeed within the Sleeping Godess. A living warren, flesh and bone. and these... servants... '

 

(MoI uk mmpb p.89/90

 

Ganoes Paran's thoughts on Burn: 'She sensed the sickness coming, sinking claws into her. Sensed . . .and chose to sleep. Less than two thousand years ago, she chose to sleep. She sought to escape the prison of her own flesh, in order to do battle with the one who was killing that flesh. She – oh gods above and below! She made of herself a weapon! Her entire spirit, all its power, into a single forging . . . a hammer, a hammer capable of breaking . . . breaking anything. And Burn then found a man to wield it . . .

Caladan Brood.

 

But breaking the chains meant freeing the Crippled God. And an unchained Crippled God meant an unleashing of vengeance – enough to sweep all life from the surface of this world. And yet Burn, the Sleeping Goddess, was indifferent to that. She would simply begin again.'(MoI, UK Trade, p.163)
