Sveva

Keeper of Resting Memories

Sveva is the goddess who watches over the Sleeping Forest, who appears to those who do not believe in the gods, offering solace in moments of desperation.

The Costly Gift

Many who wandered the forest came with the intention of saving a loved one, but without knowing the true cost. Sveva saw their pure intentions and made it her mission to answer these calls. Those who entered the forest, with hearts full of genuine desire and good will, would eventually find her and receive their wish. In return, the recipient leaves the Sleeping Forest without the memories of their past life. They often wake up in Eversummer, a region that feels like a second chance, where they have little recollection of their former self. They may remember fragments—like a name, or a skill—but most of their history is lost, replaced by the peace of starting anew.
Despite the deep sacrifice of memory, those who seek her aid are given the opportunity to live without the burden of past regrets, focused only on the future. While this transformation offers a fresh start, it also leaves them with a quiet emptiness, as they have forgotten the very wish that was granted to them.

A Bond with Aala-Leigh Chiron

While Sveva plays a role of healing, she shares a deep, though complex, bond with Aala-Leigh Chiron, the goddess of freedom and hope. Both goddesses seek to help those in need, but their methods differ. Aala focuses on liberation and freedom from oppression, while Sveva centers on the quiet renewal found through the release of the past.
Though their paths sometimes diverge, Sveva and Aala maintain a profound friendship. They understand that their roles complement each other, with Sveva offering peace through forgetting and Aala offering hope through action. Their shared commitment to the well-being of others is the foundation of their connection.

A Quiet Force of Renewal

Sveva's role in the Sleeping Forest is one of quiet power. She is a goddess of both memory and suffering, understanding the toll that loss and grief take on the heart. In the forest, she provides the opportunity for people to move on, releasing the burdens of their past so that they may walk forward with hope. She works silently, intervening only when the intentions of those who seek her aid are pure.
Though Sveva’s actions may seem passive, her gift is immense—granting both hope and renewal, while guiding the lost and weary toward a peaceful, second chance at life.
