Vara

Vara is the goddess of all creation and life within the known universe. She has the largest religious following in Arven.

History
Vara began her life within the void before time, weak and alone. Once she had grown strong, she used her powers to create the known universe. She began with the sun, using her holy light to spark its creation. Then she formed rocks and created the planet of Amerith, using the remaining stone to form the twin moons. She used her divine blood to create oceans and rivers. She then plucked a piece of her hair to weave the intricate jungles and plants. Finally, she used her flesh to shape the first animals and the Progenitors.

Age of Creation
During the Age of Creation, Vara was known to frequently visit the shrines dedicated to her. She would bless those that came to her and would offer advice to those in need. When the first sorcerers were born, she offered them safety within the Fey.

Age of Heroes
Vara notably was hands-off during the Age of Heroes, unable to fully assist the Templars. However, she did bless many of their weapons and granted divine power to several important figures.

Age of Chaos
With the merging of the two planes, Vara was considerably weakened. Along with the birth of the new gods, Vara was not capable of protecting her followers from the detrimental effects.

Age of Restoration
After the sudden end of the age of Chaos, Vara was noticeably absent for close to one hundred years. She would reappear in the city of Varga at one of the few shrines dedicated to her. Making her the first god to reappear since the Age of Chaos ended. She blessed the priestess and her acolytes with divine power, naming them her champions. The priestess and her followers would go on to reestablish the Templars of Vara, calling themselves the second Templar order.

Post Calamity
Vara has stayed in her weakened state despite the many followers she has once again received. There are only a few locations she can materialize herself in and her powers are significantly weaker than they once were. She often chooses to appear within the city of Varga and very few are allowed to visit her. It is rumored that she exists within a state of flux and is no longer immune to physical attacks against her.
