Saorah
The Lady of Summer
Saorah is the Lady of Summer, and is the twin of Gyeowrug, the lady of Winter. Together, old druidic tales of The Battanian Confederacy claim that they were created to help their father Eladrin maintain some degree of predictability. Their Father was constantly changing so much, that many of the creations of the Fey Court would simply die as they could not adapt to the constant changes. As such, the Ladies of Summer and Winter were created, to root Eladrin to recognizable and relatively stable conceptions of "seasons". Of course ideas of "summer" and "winter" are significantly different across the continent of Calradia, but having a steady cycle of Cold to hot, wet to dry, and dark to bright, helps all the mortal creatures structure their lives.
Of course though, the two seasons often compete for prevalence, and it is this competitive waxing and waning that is blamed for the seasons. Saorah herself draws power and gains joy from long sunny days, and is most prominent in the central to South of the continent, where she spends her time tending to both deer and scorpions alike. Cold-blooded creatures specifically owe her thanks, as it is the warm heat of the sun on long summer days that keeps them warm.
Every year, the two sisters compete to see which will hold sway the longest in the center of the continent in temperate zones, causing sometimes longer winters or summers. However, not even the eldest druids actually know how this competition takes place, and most speculate some sort of competition occurs in the The Feywild to decide each year.
