Peoni

Peoni is the kindest and most gentle of the gods. She will accept into her fold any with an honest heart. She loves the scholarly who use their knowledge in service of others, the poor, the meek, the innocent and the powerless, the hard working and those who love with true love. She is the patron goddess of healing and agriculture, and is closely associated with the turning of the seasons. She demands that her followers be gentle and kind, but is forgiving of those who transgress.

Peoni is most often represented as a young girl with hands worn red from her labors, and is symbolized by spring flowers or by the fruits of agriculture. It is said that she prefers white flowers and that the daisy is her favorite. Peoni and her divine servants have never taken violent action against other deities; they followed the Concordat of the Illimitable Tome even before it was signed. Peoni does not struggle with the other gods for dominion over Kelestia.

It is often held that Peoni is Larani’s mother, in spirit if not in fact. Larani’s followers are the staunch protectors of Peoni’s church. Laranian warriors often guard Peonian temples, but this is only one aspect of the working affiliation of the two churches.
