Mudeira, Goddess of Hospitality and Birth

Muderia was born somewhat near the same time as The Man of The North, but she did not live a mortal life, she became a god right away. Her parents Yorutoko and Nichiomma raised her in the heavens, which means she could see everything in the mortal world unfold. As a child, it would always make her sad to see babies and new mothers die in or soon after childbirth, she felt as though this was wrong, a flaw in humans that the other gods did not care to change. So when she became an adult she went down to the mortal plane and started acting as a midwife all over the world, although there was one specific place that she found herself repeatedly visiting, Kurhad's land, before he was a god, while he was a king. The conditions there were harsh and unforgiving, most pregnancies lead to death, one way or another.
That all changed when Muderia came along, who at that time didn't have a name, she saved countless lives through her efforts, and word of her started to spread, a strange woman who would save mothers and babies on the brink of death. Eventually, it spread to Kurhad, some suggested he hunt this woman down and try her for witchcraft, but Kurhad refused, his mother died in childbirth, he knew what it was like, and he wanted her to stay. so she kept saving lives until eventually, Kurhad's people gave her a name, Muderia.


fast forward a few years, Muderia was still saving lives across the globe, but she was having to do less and less work, medicine was advancing, thanks to her.
She was glad, but she felt as though she lost her purpose. She felt this way for years, but eventually, she just returned to the heavens, lacking purpose; that was until Kurhad approached her, he needed another god to look over the people of Borohiem, they were struggling with the harsh environment, they needed another god help.
Muderia accepted with no questions.
The two gods worked side by side for years, looking over their people, eventually, the two caught feelings for each other, they had spent years together, and it was only a matter of time.
The two got married and had two kids, Matosk and Leabrunn.

Houses are often decorated with flowers to welcome visitors, this is because Muderia's symbol is a flower.
People don't often worship Muderia, typically only new parents, doctors, and midwives do. Every midwife and doctor does a prayer to Muderia before they deliver a baby, and when the baby is born it is dipped into a tub of water with rose petals in it, this is both to wash off and to bless the baby.
New parents will do various things, like giving Muderia offerings via burying something it the ground, or placing flowers over their house, just to make sure their baby is safe. Parents typically stop these practices when the baby turns 1.
