Pomera ([pʌmɛɹə])
God of changing seasons
The forces of nature can be sweet, gentle, and slow, but they are always inevitable. Such is Pomera, the herald of seasons. Appreciated as a calm and understanding deity, Pomera is associated with cycles and balance. Though she brings the winter and the biting cold with it, so too does she bring the thaws and new growth of spring.Domains and flavor
Pomera is associated primarily with the Nature domain, with other clerics following the Light or Order domains. She is a popular figure among druids, rangers, and other orders who align themselves with the inevitable forces of nature, as well as many individuals with an interest in they Feywild. Paladins who primarily worship Pomera are rare, but they generally follow the Oath of the Ancients.Myths and relationships
Pomera is Soreana's older child, and the half-sister of Okett. Her other parent is the Forgotten, who never met their daughter. Pomera was born as a mortal would be, likely because of her mortal parentage in the Forgotten. Though she is a full god, her connection with and understanding of both mortality and divinity is associated with her relaxed demeanor. In her youth, it is said that Pomera grew bored with the gentle changing of the seasons and sought inspiration in the exaggerated seasons of the Feywild. Enamored with a group of fairies whose emotions were tied to the weather around them, she granted them the gift of reason so she might ask them about their natures. Now able to reason, the fairies had more control over their emotions and the forms they took, and pledged themselves as the young god's attendants in thanks. These fairies became the first eladrin.Religious influence
To this day, eladrin and elves who wish to connect with their fey heritage often look to Pomera. A set of seasonal prayers are well known by her followers, and those wishing to send a sentiment directly to the god wrap messages for Pomera around sticks of incense and burn them on solstices.Divine Symbols & Sigils
