Mythical Creatures/Folk (Spoilers ALL Books, including Words Like Coins)

[Farseer]

In a different thread I suggested that we may possibly come to learn that the "mythical" gods El, Eda and Sa are all one and the same 'deity' but currently they are just known by different names, by different people, in different regions.

Throughout the books we hear expressions like, "El's balls", "Eda's tits", "Sa's breath" and, my personal favourite, "El and Eda in a tangle". I am still thinking on it all but these words "El and Eda in a tangle" obviously brings to mind serpents winding in a tangle within the Plenty. It also makes me then think of dragons...not unlike a serpent tangle, they do seem to tangle together in the sky (the Lack) during the mating process, don't they?

Is this coincidence or is there a connection? I am sure that Fitz used the saying, at least once, when in conversation with Fool. As the concept of serpents and dragons was/is still fully unknown to Fitz, could it be that it is a saying he has learnt from Six Duchies history, or his own memories as Changer/the foundation of the House of Farseer? Where would such a saying come from without some sort of foundation in RotE truth?

Hmm, would it be a stretch then to assume that there is a possibility that Eda/El/Sa does exist but as a dragon-like divine being, and not the usual human-like god we may be expecting (hence the addition of "in a tangle")?

Could it also be (whatever form Eda/El/Sa takes) that Fitz and Dutiful actually have "touched" Eda/El/Sa during their experience on Others Island? Dutiful's experience of that great presence was that of a fatherly being whereas Fitz experienced a more feminine manifestation. Later, Fitz was of the opinion that this was because they were each drawn to that gender which had been mostly lacking in their lives (Fitz mourned the loss of his mother whilst Dutiful longed for his father). Is it possible that this is a correct assumption on Fitz's part BUT, to take it further, what they actually experienced was the two facets of Sa within the Skill River? That the Skill River is of Sa (especially given the previous discussions we've had concerning the connection between the Skill, priests, Elderlings, artworks etc?).
