Aurano

Aurano is seen by the Aldrithan people as a beacon of hope in turbulent times. As ruler of the sun, summer, and the world’s light, she is easily the most commonly worshipped member of the Unspoken pantheon. Farmers will worship her for a good harvest, rulers will worship her for divine guidance, and anyone may worship her for a sense of community and hope. Her followers often stress the importance of family, loyalty, and compassion. A common patron for paladins, she is also known for her unforgiving condemnation (and destruction) of those that harm the innocent--mostly because her wife helps watch over them, too.

Aurano and her wife, Vespa, are the only two gods in either pantheon known to have been born mortal before ascending to godhood.

Appearance
She rarely takes a physical form as it can be blinding or burn those she gets too close to, but when she does, she is described as a dark skinned, older elven woman, curvy, with fiery red hair and a gown that mimics candlelight.

Vespa, the Midnight Spirit
Vespa is Aurano's wife and closest confidant. According to common mythology, their devotion to each other is the reason they were able to ascend to godhood in the first place. After years of being together as mortals, Vespa became deathly sick. No clerics or medics they could find had any idea of what she was sick with or how she could be treated, and it seemed inevitable that death would separate them. They prayed to Pelor for a cure, but Pelor refused their requests for a miracle. In an act of desperation and determination, Aurano challenged Pelor himself in the name of her lover. Though no one knows how a mortal managed such a thing, she managed to kill Pelor in battle. After his death, the Weave sought a new vessel for the celestial powers of light, and the two women offered themselves to fill the role and ascend. Now, in godhood, they can never be separated by death again. Because of this, it is considered bad luck to separate the two even in art and worship.

Commandments of Aurano, the Lady in Flame

 * Live in hope, but stay anchored in facts.
 * Protect and take in those that cannot protect themselves.
 * Your family should be most important to you, but it's up to you who that family is. Blood should not be your deciding factor.
