"Not quite a deity. Thra is the planet where urGoh and I lived, though it is not our homeworld. The planet has a will and spirit of its own. Aughra is a being who is the essence of Thra itself. Good, and very wise, but she isn't always the easiest to get along with." skekGra is not a creature of Thra himself, so as time went on it came to mean more to him that the planet entrusted two aliens with the job pf helping the Gelflings along.
