Wesa, Goddess of Animals, is the twin of Iktomi, God of Nature. Though twins are an infrequent occurrence amongst mortals, it was unheard of among the Gods. They are both quiet, unassuming Gods, but Wesa can become fierce if she feels her animals are being exploited. She has nothing against mortals using her animals, as long as they do so in a responsibility manner. Trophy hunting is most certainly frowned upon and she has been known to put a stop to such things herself. She appears as a female Akicitia with a staff and in robes. Her favorite avatar is an Akicitia in Ariella named Desertbloom.
Some generic roleplaying information is as follows: Her symbol is a roaring lion, her Mages wearing robes or the outfit of a huntsman or Warrior. They use staves, bows, and slings.
Wesa's alignment (If your system calls for this) is Neutral. Nature, and animals, are neutral as is life and death.
Wesa created intelligent animals, such as the Great Lions and other "animals" who can think on their own.
Wesa's followers include druids, ranger, farmers and ranchers.
Wesa's Mages are to help animals and to help people see how to properly use and care for animals. They usually live in the wilds or near farming villages and help heal the farm animals or forest animals there. She has a temple in Stormvale, but mostly she has small shrines in the wilds. Her Mages will try to put a stop to animal abuse with words first, then actions next.
Wesa gets along with most of the Gods except Furere and Kahalla. The reason she hates Furere is unknown.
Roleplaying tip for the day: Borrow historic nations for your own use. In my novels I have modeled most of the human nations after some historic nation from our past. It gives you a frame work to use to flush out your people. As an example, for my Empire of Ariella I have modeled them after the Roman Empire. There are differences, of course, but I have the martial aspect wrapped in there and the expansionist needs of the Empire. Use what already is and not only will it help flesh out your world, but make it easier on yourself in the process.
