Gaia, goddess of the Steel Realms

Steel Realms
Gaia the Mother, the Branch; The divine Wyld Entity principal of nature, flora – plants and fungi, struggle, and life/fertility (female).

The modern age is heavily defined by the clash of faiths in the “Affray of Darkness and Light” in which the god plays a significant part.

Role: Primary foe of those who wish only to conquer and destroy and/or corrupt nature

General Motto: “The plants are the seed of all sustenance, without which all else is without life.“

They are an entity that reflects the powers of Conviction through Essence. They are part of the pantheon of Wyld Faith. This deity has affirmed participation in The Godspeak Accord. Even though this is true, he has been known to manifest to fight against those who would kill beasts en masse without thought and corrupt or lay waste to the land of Helca itself. Gaia is a central figure in the Oath of the Day Watch. This group is instrumental in the project of Reclaiming the Wyld. Where her will is manifest, so are the sacred Dryads of the wyld.
