Verehia the Sunburnt

Verehja Džarenvontu, also known as Saint Verehia the Sunburned was a farmer from Jarren’s Well who became patron saint of the harvest and of farmers. 
She was a humble plucky farmer, ruddy and hardy, sunb urned and strong. She laid down her life defending Jarren’s Well from Vreigardt raiders, killing five with a scythe and billhook before dying. It was a humble but meaningful sacrifice, and five years after her death in 729, she was canonised. Her holy day, Veltai 1st, was a day of fasting for her followers to mark her passing, and her symbols were sickles, scythes, billhooks, and other agrarian tools.
