Eres, or the Eres'al, was an Elder Goddess or spirit of the Eres people, an ancient race existing before the Imass.[1]
She was a tall, lithely muscled woman with large and pendulous breasts and wide, full hips. She had a fine umber-hued pelt with long, shaggy hair reaching below her shoulders. Her face had a prominent brow, prominent, flaring cheekbones, dark brown eyes, and a broad, full-lipped mouth. Her novements were as graceful as a deer's.[2]
In House of Chains
The Eres'al appeared suddenly before Trull Sengar as he, Onrack, Monok Ochem, and Ibra Gholan exited the warren of Tellann on their way to the First Throne. Trull shouted as everything went dark and time folded in on itself. When Onrack could see again, they were in the crevasse of the First Throne and Trull was unconscious. He observed smears of blood and three parallel cuts below the Tiste Edur's belly button and determined they were left by the Eres'al. The Bonecaster, Monok Ochem, confirmed that the Eres had stolen Trull's first seed, although her reasons were unfathomable as he said the Eres had minds of beasts. The sorcery the Eres'al projected was a barely formed warren on the edge of oblivion that temporarily sent Trull's mind elsewhere.[3]
In Midnight Tides
Nerek witches told Kettle that Eres was her mother, and Silchas Ruin promised to discover who her father was:[4]
- "Knowing how Eres plays the game, lass, he might not even be your father yet. She wanders time, Kettle, in a manner no-one else can even understand, much less emulate. And this is very much her world. She is the fire that never dies. She will choose— or has chosen— with great deliberation. Your father was, is, or will be someone of great importance."
- ―Silchas Ruin talking with Kettle about her mother
In The Bonehunters
The Eres'al often appeared to Bottle, a mage, in his dreams. Eres disguised herself as a human, acting as an aide and lover to Adjunct Tavore. She disappeared once her identity was discovered.
