Iomedae

Iomedae was one of the most powerful Goddesses on Gernon, and was one of the mostly widely venerated. She was the goddess of valor, justice, law, leadership, and honor. Followers of Iomedanity believed she was the head of the gods of light, and all other gods were subordinate to her or evil. 
==History==
It was said that in ancient times, Iomedae was a mortal woman who challenged the Test of the Starstone to gain divinity and began serving as the herald of the primordial god Aroden. For reasons unknown to even the gods, Aroden disappeared from reality around 1000 b.s.r., seemingly dead with no hope of return. In his place, Iomedae took up his charge for the light. 
Iomedae's intervention in worldly affairs to protect the weak and give power to the noble-hearted was recorded too many times to mention here.
==Worship==
Iomedae was worshiped at least marginally by nearly all the law abiding citizens of Gernon, but more so in areas with more settled populations, to tie into her portfolio of Law and Justice. While she was not worshiped as directly in the Dorry Hills or on the same level in the Spice Coast, her importance and incredible power was consistently noted and respected. She was one of the three great gods of the Dwarves, and the central god for many of the (predominantly human) Kurosekans and Calyans.Category:Badasses
