Saturn

Name origins

Saturn was named for the ancient roman god of agriculture.

Saturn had 2 consorts of sorts (heh). His first wife was named Ops, who represented wealth, abundance, and resources. His second one, was Lua. She represented essentially destruction. They would change the outcome of the harvest, or so the stories go.
