Orestea

From FeyworldWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Orestea is the goddess of life-giving rain, which helps plants grow, slakes the thirst and washes away the sins of mortals. Though her followers are not pacifists in the strictest sense, she forbids them from taking a life. Her priesthood tends to be small and her direct worshipers few, but even those who follow Dagonian gods will sometimes call upon Orestea for forgiveness.

Orestea hates tyranny in all its forms and encourages her followers to protect the liberty of others. It is said that it was she who first gave the early Aebasans the secret of Democracy.
