Imaera is the Goddess of the Nature and Autumn. She
is also often considered the patron of the sylvan elves. While Oleanis
realm is cultivation and the fertility of mortals, Imaeras realm is
the wilds and unfettered nature. Her consort is Eonak, without whose rocky
soil, no plant could grow. As the Goddess of life and growing things, hers
are the plants and animals native to the land. Credited with the re-creation
of most of the species on Elanthia, and with several of the human-like races,
she is the mistress of shaping flesh, bone, and plant to suit any need. As
such her blessing is often sought by those who practice the healing
arts.
Imaera is also the Goddess of the harvest and so of
the bounty which the land produces in its cycle of life. While Oleani oversees
cultivation and agriculture, the final blessing of Imaera is needed for the
spark of life. Because of this she is often honored in autumn festivals.
All of the aspects of Imaera are in direct opposition
to the twisting and deformation of life forms practiced by some of the Dark
Gods, and of the senseless destruction of life and land that most of their
minions undertake as a matter of course.
Imaeras preferred humanoid manifestation is that
of a young woman, often sylvan, dressed in robes of leaves and flowers. In
manner, she is exuberant. Her symbol is a golden sheaf of grain on a field
of green when she is worshipped by farmers. The sylvan elves ascribe to her
a brown doe on a field of green.
