'The Lady of the Garden'
Herald of the Equinox






Appearance: The Lady of the Garden appears as a human-esque woman clothed in greenery and partially made of plant life. It's difficult to tell what's human and what's plant. She has long curving white horns, and vines that act as limbs. Bark and lichen grow on her arms and legs.

Divine Associations: New spring growth, blossoming life, the coming of greenery, renewal, sunlight, the easing of grief, grief, lingering cold, darkness not yet pushed back, the divide between the time of darkness and the time of light, organic decay.

Mundane Associations: Medicinal herbs are sacred to her, as are white roses, and white wolves.

Common Offerings: Herbs, candy, wine, freshly harvested crops, flowers, children's drawings, poems, good soil.

Common Prayers: To ease the pain of grief and loss, to bless gardens and crops, to bring sunny days/good weather in spring, protection of newborns, protection of gardens, vengeance against those who have harmed children or damaged nature.

Blessing: Renewal. Plant growth, easing grief, bringing sunlight/good weather, nurturing life and light.

Affliction: Atrophy. Rot and decay, overwhelming grief, banishing light and bringing darkness, failing plants.

Festival: Celebrated on the first day of spring, it's mostly just a wild celebration of life and light. Things are smoked, there's music and dancing and feasting -it's a tradition that the last vegetables harvested are preserved and eaten on the first of spring - and other expressions of new life and blossoming once nighttime comes. Sometimes Nadine and Jaskier put in a personal appearance to bless the whole affair.

General Info and Lore: Considered benevolent, but known to have little mercy for those who pollute nature or harm children and be rigid about justice. Popular among the Lunae and associated with areas around the Lunae settlement. Linked to Jaskier romantically. Often answers prayers and makes appearances at shrines. Some traditions link her as mother or mother-figure to other Summoned gods. Is particularly fond of orphaned girls.

Domain: A fantastical overgrown forest garden. Here and there, hints of the ruins of a small American town can be seen.
