The nature goddess of peace and life. As a life goddess, she promotes acts of mercy, kindness, and a respect for nature.
Be grateful for what you have and never frown on working for what’s yours, and nature shall provide. She is known
to be extremely serene and peaceful, and quite forgiving in the long run. She was once a human being in the ancient world,
but she was admired by the earth god Gode for her beauty and kindness. He chose her to be his bride, making her the goddess
of life, animals, and the woods that grew from his domain.
Appearance: A beautiful woman whose shape is often fused with a tree. Often appears with varying parts of herself as
branches, bark, or leaves, which frequently shift around between each representation (that is, some statues have her legs
as roots, while another may have leaves growing from her fingertips instead).
Alternate Names: Queen of the Vine, Nature’s Beauty, Lady of the Oak, Earth Bride
Priesthood: a more direct and clear-cut lifestyle than most other religions. Priests are strongly bound to be kind, peaceful,
and sympathetic towards nature. They are also barred from abusing their magic for personal whims and made to consider the
impact of their spells deeply. Creating an ointment would be better than simply healing a wound with ointment, so as to encourage
natural healing and that the person grow stronger and wiser from the injury. In sects with more intense willpower, particularly
among monks, perfect pacifism is promoted.
Symbols: a crown of vines, a hand-shaped branch, a beast-shaped tree.
Domains: protection, healing, and elements
Afterlife: the good are given their own great valley filled with life, wondrously delicious fruits, and happiness. The
cruel to nature must withstand the attack of the spirits they ruined before/if they are to make their way to their heaven.
"Do rather than ask. Hoping shall bear no fruit, while a handful of seed will bring much. Should you be crippled
or dumb, wish not, but ask. And in whatever you may do, always pray, and you will find peace and joy."
-Saint Morlai, before ascending to godhood.
