Werel (Voe Deo)
Werel is a fictional planet in the 'Ekumen' science fiction novels of Ursula K. Le Guin. It is the fourth planet of a yellow-white star. It is dominated by the Voe Deo, who independently colonised Yeowe, the previously uninhabited third planet. It is one of two planets of this name in that series.〔Cadden, Mike. ''Ursula K. Le Guin Beyond Genre: Fiction for Children and Adults'', (New York, NY: Routledge, 2005) page 174.〕
==Werel and the Voe Deo==
Werel was colonised by the ancient Hainish people, long ago. There seem to have been no native animals: all existing animals are of Hainish origin, as are some of the plants. Like most planets of the ancient Hainish expansion, it lost touch and forgot its origins. It became dominated by the Voe Deo, an aggressive, progressive, black-skinned people. They dominated the lighter-skinned people of the north. It developed a stable system of slavery and capitalism that lasted for at least 3000 years. The tale of the breakdown of this system is told in ''Four Ways to Forgiveness'', and also the short story ''Old Music and the Slave Women''.
This Werel should not be confused with the Werel of ''Planet of Exile'' and ''City of Illusions'', which is the third planet of the orange giant star Gamma Draconis. In the introduction to the collection The Birthday of the World, Le Guin admits an error in reusing the name and indicates she had forgotten its prior use.
