Top Two Theories For How Kardala Ended Up Trapped In “The Irene Prison”

- Kardala isn’t actually a goddess, persay, she’s the all of Irene’s pent up feelings personified, loosely based on the cultural background she only kind of remembers. (Because there isn’t an Inuit diety named Kardala, exactly, just some who are close) The prison Kardala speaks about is Irene’s own fears and shyness. She’s one part Thor, one part The Incredible Hulk, given the form of a goddess by Pott’s ill advised comment. 

- Irene ate an old bit of carved bone she found washed up on the beach in Victoria when she was two and forgotten-goddess-of-times-past Kardala has been unhappily stuck in her body ever since. Toddlers who put everything in their mouths are the worst.
