Delaeo

Delaeo is one of the Six Sisters, the daughters of Asrelia who shaped the earth with hills, crags, and fields and is the ancestor of House Delaeos. Delaeo is the earthly goddess of beauty, good fortune, and prosperity, and is usually depicted as brown-skinned and always adorned with flowers, feathers, and jewels. She fashioned many games to play with her sisters which folk still play such as Luck and Fate, and Snakes and Dragons. When folk desire good fortune, they pray to Delaeo and make offerings to her beauticians, hairstylists, and fortune tellers.
