With the resettlement of land, a popular cult, worshipping the beautiful goddess Dalya as the goddess of agriculture, fertility, and art, has arisen, led by the charismatic priestess Majesty Birb. Dalya is tricksy, though, and isn't afraid to resort to underhanded methods to support her followers.
Love, agriculture, alcohol, apples, bees and other pollinators, songbirds and mischievous jays, youth, cats, dahlias, freedom, infinities, livestock, art, and music are sacred to Dalya. Her festivals, which are mostly in the spring, tend to involve inordinate amounts of wine, dancing, and fornication.
Dalya smiles upon heterosexual relations, polygamy (polyandry and polygyny and any other combination), and prostitution. She encourages homosexuals and asexuals to adopt orphaned children, and often grants a blessing of aasimar children to the devout who can't normally bear them.
Divine Features[]
Dalya lives on the Celestial Plane of Light.
She hates both Urmaggr and the Burning Hate, and occasionally works with Sequoia, Numiel, and Hafgufa.
For her favored weapon, a cleric of Dalya may choose between the sickle and the scythe.
