Name: Pharesis
Title: the Matriarch
Age: Unknown
Goddess of: Motherhood, wisdom, guidance, deep affection.
Pharesis is by all accounts the oldest of the gods. She is the one young mothers turn to when in labour, the one mages ask to look out for their pupils, and the most important goddess during weddings.
She is wise and said to know everything that goes on in the world (and perhaps she even knows what Fate has in store for the world). However, not even the gods are infallible, and one particular choice of Pharesis sets things in motion that even she and Morghaine did not foresee until it was too late.


The major gods of the pantheon: Aeiline, the Muse; Morghaine, the Messenger; Gorlandr, the Champion; Pharesis, the Matriarch; and Chaaran, the Destroyer.
