Melora
Alignment: Neutral
Epithets: The Wildmother
Mother Nature
The Sea’s Bounty
Lady Windgrace
Tenets: Protect the untamed wildernesss from exploitation and destruction.
Slay abominations and other mockeries of nature.
Embrace and respect that which you cannot control in this world. Exist in harmony with it.
Domains: Life, Nature, Tempest
The realm of Melora extends to wherever the seas shift and the land grows over. Keeper of the wilderness she represents the wild creatures of nature, the rush of the angry rapids, and the heat-harried stillness of the desert. Seen immortalized through wooden reliefs and carved idols in hidden, overgrown groves, and rural shrines. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman with dark, earthy skin tones and long hair twisted into thick vines of braid and laced with flora. The Lawbringer has a tempestuous romance with the Wildmother, a furious love that is only tempered when civilization and nature are in balance.
Sailors beseech her before long journey for calm waters and steady winds, while hunters will offer prayers and thanks for the gifts of the wilds. Shrines to her are likely to be found on roadsides, on the edges of clearings, and dotting shorelines, while temples dedicated to Lady Windgrace are rarer, they typically exist far outside of towns and cities. Usually found in patchwork ruins of older construction that nature has had time to reclaim, they require constant upkeep and much work is done to keep it’s residents safe, secure, and fed they are often viewed as companions to Avandra’s temples that act as community supported inns. Farming around them is done in moderation and always seeks to support local vegetation.
