Krymera (Cry-meera)
Overview
Daughter of Mehena and twin sister of Ordum. Krymera was the goddess most worshipped by bards, free thinkers, and tricksters. Krymera delights in wordplay and sophisticated humor, and she is playful, stubborn and vain. She enjoys being shocking and innovative, and shares stories and songs with those who appreciate such things, regardless of the listener's race or background. She valued diversity of experience, learning, and innovation, and loved all who enjoy such things. Her followers enjoyed friendly relationships with similar deities. Her herald is the Herald of Freedom, the personification of freedom and courage, usually appearing as a large and angelic woman.Portfolio and Responsibilities
She is a goddess whose portfolio includes humor, inspiration, learning, tricks, and storytelling. Krymera encouraged her followers to think for themselves, rather than relying on the word of others. The worst crime in her eyes was not trusting in oneself. She had little patience for tyrants --even well-intentioned ones-- and even less patience for cruelty or bullying. She taught that one must be freed of restraint, whether real or imaginary, in order to freely express one's opinions. Krymera worshipers believed every time they learned or created something new, they were honoring her. They believed she presided over the first performance of a new entertainment piece, and performers, conductors, or playwrights often dedicated their initial presentation to her glory (if serious) or amusement (if comic).Divine Domains
