Verenestra
|
Verenestra is the patron goddess of dryads, nymphs, and sylphs. Fickle and very vain, this beautiful goddess nonetheless has the wisdom to know that the security of her female worshipers is as one with the security of all the faerie realms and creatures, and she is utterly loyal to the Seelie Court despite her otherwise inconstant nature. Verenestra has her own bower in the Seelie Court, resplendent with silver birches, larches and plane trees, and a fringe of willows; the trees are decorated with living silver filigree and jewels and within, the goddess has many mirrors in which to admire her own arts of self-beautification. She is jealous, and snobbishly avoids contact with other female goddesses of beauty, love, or romance. Verenestra's avatar appears as a demure, slim female (sylph, dryad or nymph as she chooses) of unearthily perfect form and beauty. The avatar is always barefoot, and generally wears only one or two handkerchief-sized garments of gossamer which are carefully designed to not quite disguise her female charms. Verenestra rarely sends avatars to the Prime Material; she may do so to abduct an exceptionally charismatic male and play with the poor creature's affections, rewarding him with some minor magical item. Otherwise, her avatar will usually only accompany those of other sylvan gods when a communal interest is of major importance.
