Mahome

[mah-HOE-may]

The Hearth Fire, one of the Lowfires

  • Orlanthi pantheon
  • Solar pantheon
  • Doraddi pantheons

Mahome is the common fire. She has befriended man, but refused the beasts her comfort. She is the servant of the gods, and prepares the meals for their mighty feastings.

Amongst the Orlanthi, she is one of the traditional household goddesses who are the daughters and handmaidens of Ernalda – Mahome, who tends the hearth.

She is usually shown as a firepot used to store embers, or as a peasant woman holding the same.
