Armela

The Bear

Armela is the goddess of winter, earth, architecture, teaching and the hearth. She is the eternal enemy of Iku-Turso, as she protects her followers from the harshness of summer by taking power from the sun and freezing the oceans.
Her followers are the foremost experts when preparing for the winter years, and are the closest Castores has to a widespread educational system. Her followers believe that through education people will become wise enough to realize the need to prepare for winter.
Armela’s popularity dwindles in the summer, quite possibly due to most common folk having no idea what a bear is. During the later years of spring, the followers of Iku-Turso often make holy war against establishments of Armela, driving them to be an underground cult in many regions.
Armela’s symbol is a bear in a frozen cave. The Bear gets no tribute from the Fey Courts, not even the Winter Court.
