Miah-Sha

Miah-Sha is worshipped as one of the elder deities of Memra’s pantheon. A goddess of fertility and plenty, she is a popular figure of worship. Miah-Sha is a popular goddess in the New Tarahiri League cities, and is considered the patron deities of the various libraries and skolastikosa (schools of philosophy for the noble born) of those realms. Miah-Sha is a loving, but firm, deity. She is also worshipped by tribes who try and eke life out of the desert and the dry foothills of the eastern Juras Mountains.

Sigil: The sigil of Miah-Sha is a wreath of vine leaves, symbolizing both the harvest and the cycle of life. The sigil is rarely displayed in public.

Aspects: Miah-Sha has one aspect, that of the goddess of fertility. She is invoked in spring and at harvest. The “planting moon” and the “harvest moon” are named for her and some consider her a moon goddess. She is considered a “life goddess”, of rebirth and new beginnings.

Allies: Miah-Sha is Memra’s beloved wife and equal.

Enemies: Miah-Sha is the goddess who drives away the ghosts of the unhallowed dead. Those who still walk after they have died are beyond her laws, and must be destroyed.
