Yavanna

Often seen as a young woman cloaked in the moast beautiful of flowers and other flora. She presides over grains and the general fertility of the earth. She is one of the most praised gods because she is one of the most important. Without her there will be no harvest. The spring and summer months are the times of year that she is considered to be at the height of her power. Winter and Fall are seen as a test of faith, as she will reduce her power and allow a blanket of snow to cover the realm. It is believed that those who stay patient and take proper precautions for Winter while continuing their worship will be granted a bountiful harvest later on in the year. It is also seen as a way to teach creatures humility and let them know that as in life the world gives and the world takes.
