Halea

(a.k.a. The Golden Temptres)

Halea is the goddess of wealth and pleasure. She demands unswerving devotion from her adherents. Only women can enter her clergy.
She lives in The Olympian Glades of Arborea in her keep Corsilea.
The Golden Temptress is served by seven handmaidens. They are not worshipped, but prayers are often offered to them. As with all Halean prayers, these are in the form of bargains. In most cases, Halea’s name is invoked first so as not to slight the goddess.

The Handmaidens

Selina, Princess of Abundance

Selina is depicted as a beautiful woman in rich clothing, bedecked with jewelry, and carrying a bag of coins. Although guardian of Halea’s vast treasure horde, Selina also represents the spending of wealth. Her name is invoked in gratitude after the acquisition of luxuries, or when spending a lot of money.

Elomia, Princess of Enterprise

Elomia is depicted in modest clothing, carrying a scroll or abacus. She is the patron of mercantylers. Prayers are offered to entice her to lend her golden tongue to a bargaining merchant, and her name is frequently invoked over signed contracts and other deals.

Tania, Princess of Brief Ecstasy

Tania is said to be the second most attractive being on all the worlds. She is usually shown in courtesan’s clothing, striking a lascivious pose. Many people offer prayers to Tania when they wish to be lucky in love, or merely to attract someone for a night of pleasure.

Galopea, Princess of the Feast

Galopea is shown as a full-bodied or even plump, young woman, holding a goblet or a tray of exotic delicacies. She is the muse of gourmet dining, pleasant food, wine, and drugs. Her name is invoked before special feasts or, on a less formal level, before a new bottle of wine is opened. Many chefs pray to her, even if they worship another deity.

Dulcia, Princess of Harmony

Dulcia is depicted as young woman playing a musical instrument, most often a harp or flute. Prayers are offered to her by artisans before the performance of a play or recital.

Thalia, Princess of Fortune

Images of Thalia show her in mismatched clothing, with wild hair and a knowing grin. She holds a pair of dice and is well favored by gamblers. Thalia’s favor is commonly sought in any life situation that requires good luck.

Sardura, Princess of Golden Wrath

Sardura is depicted in a stern and menacing image, in close-fitting golden armor, bearing a short bow. She is dispatched by Halea when compacts are broken and punishes with ‘subtle stings’ those who betray the goddess. She does not grant favors, but takes away what is not deserved. Her arrows bring bad fortune on those they strike. Sardura also represents security, and is the patron of the Solithar (temple guards) and of other protectors of valuable goods. Locksmiths offer prayers to her, and she is called on by those who have been cheated or robbed. The saying, “May thou never meet Sardura,” is a blessing or a veiled threat.
