misterlucian:35 - Lindell / CeresLindell is a spirit - a water nymph, to be exact - who inhabits the Lindell River, a small and polluted river that trundles sluggishly around between the factories. Greasy out-flows and vats of mechanical effluent are dumped into his home daily, and have since the factories first came in the early 19th century. He wouldn’ve have it any other way. Like any nature spirit, his nature is inextricably tied to the landscape in which he has his roots: the river is disgusting, industrial, oily and happy to help, and so is he.Ceres is the old goddess of grain - not quite the harvest: she is in the grain itself, and its manifold byproducts. It used to be that she was revered during the harvest and the making of bread, but now wheat and other grains are processed on an industrial scale, and therefore, so is she. She is every identical cheery loaf of bread, wafting past on their way to be bagged, and she is free in every box of breakfast cereal. The oldest and most trivial of gods never die; they just change shape slightly. -- source link
