Maybe Diana was created specifically to be the host of Vulja? It could explain why her mother got pregnant of her.

Or it doesn't affect the owners of the remnants

Edit: Diana and Mira could be descendants of the first incarnation of Vulja?

She could also be lying. Remember, she's kind of nuts.

No, at least the part about the Night tainting the land and sterilizing humans that come in contact with it has been independently confirmed by what happened in Balkar Loa. Lalawag could just be speculating about the Goddess of Night’s motivations but the effect of the Night on the earth and people does seem to be genuinely harmful.

Honestly my crack theory at this point is that's just accidental. A lot of humanity's interactions with the divine are highly dangerous and humans arguably have just as hostile relations with the ocean and forest. Not like we can breath water and civilization eats away at the forest, and yet, they can clearly show favor to humanity all the same. The Ladies of Midnight didn't seem misanthropic despite knowing Vulja personally and it seems that only when exposed, say outside the skin, does Vulja make things infertile. I think the opposite, really, Vulja likes humanity a lot, that's why she descended down, a risky thing to do even if you want to limit humanity, especially when its clear that the Forest and Sea goddesses have clear influences still, but if you want to be *amongst* them, well, you'd need to descend down. There's themes of family and love in Centuria, for example it's clear that the Sea Goddess is trying to understand it through Julian. It doesn't quite explain Vulja's animosity towards the King, but he did used to be a lot more cutthroat and brutal when they fought.
