Eiritha

Official Cult

Author: christopherallison

Mother of Herds The daughter of Ernalda and the Father of Beasts, Eiritha is the mother of all cattle, including the herd beasts of Prax. Indeed, her favorite place was Prax, where she lived with her daughters, each the mother of a species of herd beast. When the mighty Storm Bull came to Prax, Eiritha gave up her old paramours and married the god. Death came for Eiritha one day, but was baffled when he could not find her. A hero named Orani, son of the Storm Bull, fought with Death and delayed the god, though he paid with his own life. During that time, the wily Tada led his people to dig a great pit and hide the goddess within the womb of the earth again. Death was fooled, but since that time Eiritha may never again walk freely in Prax. Eiritha is the source of fecundity and rich milk for all hoofed and horned creatures. Every farmer or herder calls her by whatever local animal he favors. The nomad herders of Prax and Pent are utterly dependent upon Eiritha for their daily survival. Eiritha is the woman’s cult for all Praxian nomads. She is worshiped throughout Dragon Pass.

Creation Notes

All initiates start with the Ignite spell as an additional spirit magic spell that does not count against their 5 points of starting cult spirit magic. Only female Praxians can join Eiritha’s cult.
