Naradene

Naradene is the goddess of cattle and the mother of Adelie. She is often prayed to in Makolan and Kutwhean culture to protect their cattle. She has also been noted as the patron saint of horses and bison and the Nareemian state of Delkida. She is depicted as a elderly woman, dressed in mahogany silk dresses with a yellow crown and auburn hair, rested upon a golden throne with a young Adelie by her right side holding a golden gourd, while a baby cow is to the left of her. 
== In Folklore ==
She and her daughter Adelie lived in a one-story house in the countryside. The harvest and winter were coming so they took their sweat and blood into their harvest for good food. One day, Mako Mako, disguised as a elderly woman, asked if they had any vegetables or fruits they could spare. Despite having a scarcity of vegetables, they being kind souls gifted the elderly woman with vegetables anyways. In return, the elderly woman gifted Adelie a garnet crown. The pair didn’t know what the crown was for but when Adelie placed it upon her head their crops began growing very successfully. 
In another story, Naradene led a group of abandoned cattle into a unkept ranch to survive winter. Her act of kindness amazed the cows who gifted her with the power of the goddess of cattle.
