| '''Mayaheine''' is the demigoddess of Protection, Justice, and Valor. Her symbol is a downward-pointing sword with a V on either side. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Appearance==
| | '''Gender: '''m |
| Mayaheine is an unusually tall woman with auburn-gold hair with blue eyes. She carries a bastard sword and a longbow, and is garbed in silvery plate mail.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Relationships==
| | '''Rank: '''Demigod |
| Mayaheine is a servant and paladin of [[Pelor]], and her faith serves as a more strongly martial complement to Pelor's church.
| |
|
| |
|
| Her relationship with [[Heironeous]] is more uncertain, but most of their respective clergy sees their roles as complementary, Mayaheine as protector and Heironeous as the one who marshals the hosts to battle.
| | '''Areas of Concern/Portfolio: '''Protection, Justice, Valour |
|
| |
|
| ==Realm==
| | '''Titles: '''The Shield Maiden |
| Mayaheine dwells in ''Arvenna, the Chanting Grounds'' on [[Mount Celestia]], on the warlike layer of Mertion. This is a place for the training of archons, primarily, but she is not the only deity to make it her home.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Worshipers==
| | '''Holy Symbol''': A shield with a bastard sword, sunburst two golden spheres, and two victory runes |
| Mayaheine's faith is still a young one, still organizing itself and still very much tied to the church of Pelor. Her worshipers see her as a savior come to rescue them from the darkness that threatens the world in these grim times.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Clergy===
| | '''Alignment''': Lawful Good |
| Priests of Mayaheine are often guided by and always defer to priests of Pelor. Her clerics are often relatively young. They train for combat and help organize the defense of communities.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Paladins===
| | '''Origin of Worship''': Flan |
| Paladins of Mayaheine are known as ''Valiants''. Their motto is "Fortitude within and valor without." They are few, as their order has only existed since the 580s [[Common Year|CY]]. Most of them have emerged from existing Pelorian knighthoods. As many as three in five of them are female. The Valiants dedicate themselves to the protection of the innocent, downtrodden, and good. They typically wear flowing tabards cinched with a golden cord or girdle at the waist, usually with the symbol of Mayaheine emblazoned on them. They favor light blues, greens, and tans.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Temples==
| | '''Favored Weapon''': Bastard Sword |
| A small temple to Mayaheine exists in [[Free City of Greyhawk|Greyhawk's]] Old City, cared for by the priest [[Veni Jarrison]]. She is also worshiped in [[Perrenland]], [[Hardby]] (which contains Mayaheine's largest temple and training house), and [[Zulern]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | '''Domains: '''Good, Law, Nobility, Protection, War |
| Mayaheine was originally a mortal paladin of Pelor, brought to Oerth from another world during the [[Greyhawk Wars]] to help fight the rising tide of evil. Her first recorded sighting was in 583 [[Common Year|CY]].
