Maer (/Mehr/)

"She Who Frees the Fates in Dreaming"

The Fateweaver

Maer is the deity of dreams and fate. She is associated with personal freedom, or freedom-from-fate, rather than being a goddess of fateful predetermination. Maer is strongly associated with the larger of Eashavar's moons, Maeras, which is her primary symbol, though she is said to guide the entire fabric of the stars above. Her followers include oracles, sailors, and outcast wanderers.
Followers of Maer are her wayfarers. Her holy sites are referred to as gateways, and they tend to be in natural or open areas which are purposefully established for celestial observation and divination. Such areas are said to lie on ley-lines, a term that wayfarers use to refer to the connection between the stars (which they consider direct messengers of fate) and the world. Stone circles, sun dials, and other tools which channel the light of the sky above are often constructed at these gateways.
Maer's writings on the celestial fabric are contained in the Rubiora, whereas her more mystical wisdom is contained within the Sacred Geometry. She is the lover of Ah'yelan and the mother of Fraeyr, as well as El'yr through an affair with Nenzus and Zakrul through an affair with Cinakath. Maer is also the sister of Orovas and a close companion to Fae'len.
