Vita (Vee-Tah)
Goddess of Life and Death Vita
Often known as Vita the first, is the Goddess of Life and Death. The head of the pantheon, Vita was the one to bring about the creation of Aether and breath life into the other Gods and Goddesses. Very little is known about the goddess of life and death. She is revered as the most powerful deity within the pantheon. Once upon a time she would grace Aether with her presence. But a few millenia ago, she and the other gods ceased their comings and goings in Aether. No knows why or when exactly the gods stopped travelling to Aether, and how they travelled between realms has been lost knowledge too.
All life comes from Vita and all life ends with Vita.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Roses and skulls are the main aspects of Vita's symbolism, it is said that if you seen a red rose bloom inside a skull, then Vita is not far off. The skull symbolises the end of all things while the rose is seen as the birth of all things. Vita's celestial being is the phoenix seen as the avatar of life and death.
Tenets of Faith
It said that those involved with resurrection and bringing the dead to life are doomed to be cursed by Vita. Vita is known to care for those who pass, but when snatched away without warning she tends to get upset and angry. Clerics of Vita are said to be very attuned to life itself and are said to be able to commune with the dead.
Holidays
There are two days that celebrate Vita. Known as the Days of Vita, this holiday happens on the 1st and 2nd of Vitamen, locals will attend a religious ceremony at the nearest altar or statue of Vita, bringing flowers (mostly roses) and use this time to pray for the passing of loved ones and those that have passed onto the next life.
