Steel Realms

>General Motto: “The tended hearth is a happy home.“

Quick Reference: Aerna (the Lightbringer) is a divine principal of the home and hearth, motherhood, family, rest and recovery, weaving and cloth-making, and patron of healers.

This deity has affirmed participation in The Godspeak Accord. They are part of the Unified Pantheon of Light and have no followers dedicated to the Garden of Light. This place/order uses the Great Traveler (Light of the Careful Traveler) system for ensuring safe and successful passage of important followers, messages, and goods. This clergy is instrumental in the project of Reclaiming the Wyld. It is well known that the powers of Merkaine and Aerna work best to fight against the cold death of the Fangedfrost. Despite her greater association with the wyld elemental faith, the great spirit of Merii is often called the ‘Handmaiden of Aerna’ – her singing in the halls with Aerna’s High Priestess of the Hearth Home temple is legendary.
