& Autumn (Pantheon
of Liabo)

Imaera is the Goddess of the Nature and Autumn. She is also often
considered the patron of the sylvan elves. While Oleani’s
realm is cultivation and the fertility of mortals, Imaera’s realm
is the wilds and unfettered nature. Her consort is Eonak,
without whose rocky soil, no plant could grow.
As the Goddess of life and growing things, hers are the plants
and animals native to the land. Credited with the re-creation of
most of the species on Elanthia, and with several of the human-like
races, she is the mistress of shaping flesh, bone, and plant to
suit any need. As such her blessing is often sought by those who
practice the healing arts.
Imaera is also the Goddess of the harvest and so of the bounty
which the land produces in its cycle of life. While Oleani oversees
cultivation and agriculture, the final blessing of Imaera is needed
for the spark of life. Because of this she is often honored in autumn
festivals.
All of the aspects of Imaera are in direct opposition to the twisting
and deformation of life forms practiced by some of the Dark Gods,
and of the senseless destruction of life and land that most of their
minions undertake as a matter of course.
Imaera’s preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a young
woman, often sylvan, dressed in robes of leaves and flowers. In
manner, she is exuberant. Her symbol is a golden sheaf of grain
on a field of green when she is worshipped by farmers. The sylvan
elves ascribe to her a brown doe on a field of green.
