Vesara, Goddess of Warmth, Hearth and Home

Legends and History:

Vesara, the wife of Valoris, was the reincarnation of another diety that fought the most directly with Acruthan, The Abandoned. She was once known as a Goddess of War and Ruin, and took the offensive existence of Acruthan to heart. She believed that something like him should never have existed, and she vowed to annhiliate him, once and for all. However, her firey passion overcame her caution and subtleness. She engaged Acruthan in a one-on-one duel that shattered a plane of existence known then as The Whispered Realm. Not much is known of this plane, only that the goddess and the abomination fought for seemlingly years on end. However, even she was outmatched, and her death sparked the War of the Damned. Her essence, once she had passed away, traveled to the Ethereal Plane, forever to lay in rest with her brothers and sisters. However, it seemed that the multiverse had other plans.

After the war had ended, her body had evolved and was revived into a new diety (With the aid of Valoris), one that remembered her past self's mistakes. With this new found, mysterious second life, Vesara had formed into something new. She witnessed a lack of care and love for this new mutliverse that was forged after the War of the Damned and took it upon herself to spread new tenets of faith and domains, all of which surround the idea of protecting and giving aid to all. In her eyes, it is this act of selfless aid that will safeguard the mutliverse from any darkness that may come again.

Divine Domains

The following are domains that Vesara represents:
