Depiction.
II

A young dwarven woman, her thick curls braided with flowers. She wears a light dress, or whatever clothing is normal for the area. Nothing about her implies divinity, for all intents and purposes she appears mortal.


Symbol.
III

Fleeting Calm

The most common way to represent Myra is a small flower curled withing a white shell. In a pinch a small flower or shell on it's own will do.


Lore.
IV

Few worship Myra, she is a powerless god. Once she had all the power of Khawala the storm god, but Myra gave herself up to harness the great storm and the anger of the Tidebreaker. Now, she only exists when Khawala calms and what is left of her being is not needed to keep the winds at bay. She wanders the world of mortals, practically one herself aside from her eternal life, the world she fell in love and sacrificed herself for before she ever knew it. She sees all the world is, good and evil, and accepts it. She does not regret her choice.

Alas, the ocean’s will is not so easily escaped. Soon the wind begins to blow again, Myra fades away, and Khawala’s dance begins anew.

Titles: The Spring Breeze, Myra Goddess of Selfless Love, Myra the Watchful, Patron of Martyrs


A Watchful Eye, A Caring Hand.
V

Myra has just enough power to give to one worshiper [cleric, warlock, ect.] at a time. Thus she has a very direct relationship to them, often directly watching over their journey and offering what help and advice she can without prompting. She is a caring figure, and gives only her best for those that choose to follow her over more powerful detities.

Notes.
VII
  • While Myra can only give power to one worshiper she and Khawala can totally exist at the same time and you could theoretically have a party with, for example, both a cleric of Myra and a warlock of Khawala in it. Alternativly have a character that is graced by both but gets different powers depends on which aspect is more active? Dunno, have fun with it! Contradict the lore! That's what deities are all about.
  • If you do use her for a dnd (or some other tabletop) as a homebrew god I would loooove to hear about it. You don't have to tell me of course! But it would make me happy.
  • Myra wasn't orginally associated with flowers but became so due to the influence of worship of Miyuwei, god of relationships.
