Onora

Onora is the goddess of dreams, magic and twilight. She represents a safe haven and renewal in troubling times.

Role

Onora is the patron of the twilight, a liminal time where magic is strongest and people seek comfort from the labors of the day and the dangers of the night. Courtesans, storytellers and practitioners of magic are among her favorite followers, and it is common practice to train and study magic in the twilight hours.

Onoran Tenets

Never turn away the needy. Welcome the broken into your midst, and make them whole once more. Be their safe harbor.

Beauty is a fragile, powerful thing. There is much vileness in the world. Preserve beauty where you see it, and make the world a fairer place.

Trust in the power of dreams. Dreams are the wings which take you where your body can not. Heed them well, for they are a gift from Onora.

Preserve stories of old, and weave your own. Stories inspire and make the heart grow strong. They are the fabric which binds us to those who came before us. Learn from them.

Manifestations

Onora is said to take the form of a grandmotherly woman, serene and calming in her demeanor. Despite her elderly nature, she is often described as very beautiful. Her smile is said to drive away the terrors of the dark, and to bring comfort to those most mistreated.

Worship

The followers of Onora honor their goddess by bringing comfort to those who need it. Her temples often double as places of rest and relaxation, where her followers tend to weary travelers in exchange for gifts and coin. Mothers especially pray to her, to keep their children safe in the night and free of nightmares. It is common practice for practitioners of magic to keep dream journals, for The Evening Star is said to bring concealed gifts of magic through dreams.
