Quotes

## Other Gods

Not all gods have close relationships with one another. Many of them hardly interact. However, Thaerena will tell you that she has a hatred for anyone that would needlessly cause others harm. Even though there are two that she particularly despises, that constitutes most of the evil gods.

### Aellus

Aellus is the other god which Thaerena is closest to. They knew each other in life, and have a close relationship even after becoming gods. He was a guard in her village, who helped her sneak food and supplies on occasion. They ended up seeing each other as brother and sister. Their story is not so simple, however, and is far from over.

### Erion

Erion is Thaerena's closest friend. Due to Erion almost always being in her grove along the southwestern shores of Rutil, Tharena frequently visits her to talk at night. They very dealry enjoy each other's company and have similar personalities to a certain degree.

Thaerena is also very dear to Erion because she spent three days and three nights with her to comfort Erion in her grief after Alden Brakkenrigge, her lover, died.

### Aedwyd

Aedwyd and Thaerena do not see each other often. However, they have had several encounters which seem to create a friendly relationship between the two. Aedwyd has a very strong love for the living, children especially, and Thaerena's heroics and kindness mean very much to her.

### Xahaax

Through her relationship with Aedwyd, Thaerena and Xahaax are on very good terms. She understands the necessity of his role, but still feels slightly strange about him.

### Ghulzighild

Thaerena has a particular distaste for Ghulzighild, Goddess of Gluttony. Lust being one of her domains, sexual predators, human traffickers, and all those who indulge in the depraved side of sex usually pray to or receive boons from her. This is something that Thaerena witnessed during her human life, and even almost fell victim to. Thus, she despises the Baroness of Lust.

### Fethgolud

Similar but less extreme to her distaste of Ghulzighild, Thaerena despises Fethgolud as money, power, and wealth, all Fethgolud's domains, seem to be one of the largest driving factors of the horrors she despises Ghulzighild for.

## Mortals

Thaerena, as stated in her history, has some form of direct relationship with many, many mortals. Far more than most other gods, most of whose relationships with mortals are one-way relationships of worship.

There are, however, a couple of mortals who stick out.

### Alden Brakkenrigge

Thaerena knew Alden while he was alive, and although cautious at first, learned quickly to trust him with Erion. They became close friends before he passed away.

### Lambert Auric

Lambert was a child that Thaerena visited often to sing to sleep. Lambert had much trouble with sleep due to his strict and harsh upbringing by his father, who began training him as a knight and noble from a very early age. He is one of the few living mortals that she repeatedly visits, although very rarely.

## Other

### Beka, Khula, and Uzipho

Erion's three wolves are very, very close companions to her. Even while mortal, she would protect them with her life. They share a very, very strong bond.
