Rontras Divine servants

Celestial Servitors

Rontra has four main celestial servitors: allies and friends who do her bidding when she calls.
The Shepherdess
When she needs to take shape, this servant of Rontra appears as a tall female of an appropriate race, with flowing robes and long golden hair. Her hand holds a shepherd’s crook carved out of fresh oak. When the land is being desecrated or otherwise misused, the Shepherdess makes subtle appeals to those responsible to change their ways. She is called the Shepherdess because she is the figure credited in most legends for subtly herding those in danger out of trouble. Some believe the Shepherdess is actually Morwyn, not a servant of Rontra at all. Theologians consider this foolish folklore though, for they know the Shepherdess by the name Gwainlath, said to be a great leader who served Rontra in the earliest days of the five races.
The Miner
Known to dwarves as Barik-tharn, the Miner appears as a stout dwarf with a pick made of pure light. He is the protector of the earth’s treasures, but most importantly, he warns those who are beloved of Rontra when they are in danger of delving too deep or too dangerously. When miners feel gut intuition telling them their tunnels are unsafe, they claim it is Barik-tharn whispering over their shoulders.
Saint Marlessa
Reputedly the founder of the first Rontran foundation, St. Marlessa is the ear of Rontra, walking at the Grandmother’s side and listening to the pleas of her worshipers. She only brings the most pressing petitions to the goddess herself. She is invoked as “Saint Marlessa, sister of the people” by common folk, and is often named in private prayer by Rontra’s followers.
The Serpent The more mystical worshipers of Rontra believe the surface of the world is an enormous serpent biting its own tail, that is sometimes called Ouroboros. They believe the serpent is the chief of Rontra’s servants, and all strength and power, particularly the power of fertility, is given to mortals through it, for it holds the power of life and death.
Most legends of the serpent are not so grandiose. The more common belief is that the Serpent was created by Master Korak, who ripped off its legs to woo Thellyne . These legends hold that it came to Rontra in terrible pain and she took to her bosom. The Serpent now visits those in mortal agony and eases their pain, for Rontra cannot abide suffering.
