Also called Puruvit, Poremut (variant spelling).
Their story
Saxo Grammaticus says that in another temple at Karenz stood Porevit, with five heads but no weapons. That is almost all that is known. Later writers have guessed at forest, harvest or hidden-treasure roles from the name, but none of this is recorded.
