Freya
"Mother Freya is forgiving, but she brooks no insult. Her universal love has a condition"- Helvede, archpriestess of Freya in the Western Alliance
One of the most loved and venerated gods from the First Pantheon mostly by the human population, Freya is the goddess of love and fertility. She is considered the mother of the gods of the second Pantheon and most minor deities that were born from the second great fusion. Incarnating love in all its forms, be it a motherly kind or the love of an object, she is omnipresent, making her essence easily felt and used, and as such her priestesses are many and powerful.
During the times of the First Pantheon, right after its creation, Freya immediately became Effneki's closest counselor, acting as a soothing force to the pantheon leader's impatience to destroy The first Higher Ones. Her unconditional love towards all things, be they lawful or chaotic, made her question the necessity of this mutual destruction, believing that it was in the nature of the Higher Ones to be chaotic or evil, not their fault, and that they represented a necessary evil. As such, she often engaged in communication with these strange entities, trying to make them embrace the duality of the universe, as she did with her fellow gods. Alas, in the end, this did not change Effneki's plans, though it did considerably delay them, and once the time came, she joined reluctantly her brothers and sisters. In her last moments, the cultists of Freya believe that their goddess extended herself into the very fabric of reality, assuring a pleasant departing of all entities.
Though Freya is venerated by many in all social classes, her most devout followers assemble in covenants that help people in need and heal the injured. Such monasteries often serve as rural hospitals for the peasants and travelers. Though most covens of Freya are almost exclusively female, there exist male monasteries on very rare occasions, and there always is at least one male guardian in every covenant, often a eunuch or young mage apprentice.
