A-màireach

THE GODDESS OF RAIN, HARVEST AND BEAUTY Said to be the weakest of all of the gods, and yet one of the most essential ones, A-màireach is a selfless, loving goddess who most likely appreciates mortals above all others. She has dedicated her existence into preserving Narlathia, prompting rain and bountiful harvest. She is known by all mortals and loved by them, and she has a tendency of appearing with a smiling visage on one's farmland, the sign of a perfect harvest.

A-màireach seems to be in constant banter and mental conflict with Fajar-Ra, the God of wind, passion and fire, due to their immense differences and ironic dependencies on eachother. Fajar-Ra argues that without the warmth and the light that he provides to the world, nothing on it would grow. A-màireach argues that without rain and water, the very things that she provides, nothing would grow on the planet. Thus, they are in total dependancy toward eachother, and seem to share a love-hate relationship.

It is said that when a rainbow is seen after rain, it means the two had been in the midst of an argument yet again, and with the two reluctantly solving the argument and laying it to rest, Fajar-Ra would once again cast his light through the sky for all to grow, resulting in a display of magnificence from the unified powers of the two gods. A-màireach generally appears as a wondrously beautiful, cloaked young maiden with blond hair, often carried a basket of wheat.

A Melody to A-màireach

Graceful, beautiful lady,

Bring upon us rain and plenty,

So that the fields may grow,

And the food may flow,

The sky may glow,

And the folk may sow,

That children needn't woe,

So that the cold we may let go,

So that on rivers we may row,

So that the winds may blow,

And so that gone would be the snow.

EFFECTS OF WORSHIP

A-màireach doesn't particularly care for worship, but instead favours those that do no harm to nature without necessity. She desires the growth of all the plants and the animals, including the intelligent races, and wishes for balance and peace across the world. Those that promote this way of thinking often gain her favour. She is known to deign those true peacekeepers of the world with something called the Horn of Plenty, a legendary item that, when reached into, will always present food, or water upon drinking when thirsty.
