Aestas, Goddess of the Summer

Personality: Unpredictable, spontaneous, energetic, lawful good.

History: Aestas was the twin of the Winter Goddess, Hiems, before the Winter Goddess perished at the hands of Harenem, who slayed her to expand the territory of his cursed lands. Aestas and Hiems were created by the Sun and Moon Gods to turn the seasons. They were handmaidens to the Deer Gods, and Aestas still serves as the Sun God’s messenger and aid. She is a golden, glowing doe with a single eye at the center of her forehead, and is capable of making mirages of herself so that she sometimes appears as a whole herd of deer. She is rarely seen except to deliver messages to or from the Sun God.

Offerings: None, though the presentation of gold is said to please her.
