Larani

Larani is the benevolent goddess of chivalry and battle and the reluctant warrior. Her followers claim she is the greatest of the trinity of war gods, but she is more constrained by honor and conscience than either Agrik or Sarajin. Sometimes Larani's chivalrousness is a weakness, since Larani will not strike without warning nor without cause. However, it is also a strength since Laranians do not easily forget whose side they are on.

Larani appears most often as a tall maiden clad in a white gown with red trim. About her waist and head are circlets of silver. She is fair of face, and strong, although she may not show her power. This is the aspect of the Lady of Paladins. The Lady of Paladins symbolizes the ideals of feudalism.

When Larani loses her patience, she assumes the aspect of the “Terrible Lady of the Flowing Red.” In this aspect, she wears Angcaradina, her blood-red mail. She bears Hyvrik, her red and white checkered shield, and Avarkiel, the Sword that Strikes True, also called “Oathbinder” or “Herald of the End of Life.”
