Vaera

The Healing Hand
While Saartos controls the seas and Bacael the beasts of the land and skies, Vaera is the goddess of Altea itself. She is also the twin of Amadros, both of whom were created by Artessa. It is Vaera that is said to have created most of the sentient humanoid races save for the dwarves. Vaera is a being of ultimate compassion, guiding the sentient races and nurturing their growth. Vaera is depicted as a young woman with long blonde hair, draped in robes of white with green and gold embroidery.

Worshippers and Temples
Vaera is worshipped in every nation on Aedin. While Bacael is most attributed with harvests by farmers, there is some recognized overlap between the two deities. As such, Vaera is intermittently beseeched for her blessings and good fortune. She is most worshipped by healers and those of more compassionate natures. Vaera has no organized faith despite her immense status, instead independent priests, preachers, and healers travel or take up temporary residences to help local communities until they feel they can do more elsewhere. Despite her lack of organized followers, Vaera maintains small temples in most large towns and a handful of cities, solely managed through the good will of those who visit.

Dogma
Those who worship Vaera directly strive to a singular ultimate goal; to make Altea better than it was. They often feel they can accomplish this through healing the sick or injured, sharing new knowledge to different communities such as farming techniques, or by preserving things they view as sacred. Vaera's worshippers tend to seek out problems and attempt to resolve them as best they can.
