Ernalda

[er-NAHL-duh]

Earth mother and Queen

  • Orlanthi pantheon
Artist, Loïc Muzy

The bountiful mother of life is the source of all sustenance. Reverence for her should stem from every living creature. Plants and animals, both wild and domestic, are her children. She is fruitful and generous. Even trolls are said to love her, because she is so good to rob.

She is usually depicted as a happy matron, typically with a bunch of keys at her belt, a basket overflowing with edible fruits and meats hangs from one hand, and with the seven Orlanthi wedding bracelets encircling her arm.
