God of Winter
In Scripture
Huereina is the younger sister of
Fei Invaru and daughter of
Chaimut, born of the latter's desire to punish the former. Due to
Fei Invaru's actions during the
Fall of Rel Eteisus,
Chaimut wished to deliver divine punishment upon her, which he accomplished by siring a god of an antagonistic domain: winter.
Huereina punished
Fei Invaru merely by existing, regardless of her own desires (which are often overlooked in scripture). Much like
Rel Eteisus, Huereina became consumed by what she was born to be; such developments led to complicity in the face of death and the callousness of her father. Perhaps expectantly, she failed to please her father as intended, leading to both her and
Fei Invaru's banishment to the planes of Summer and Winter.
In Worship
Huereina and Fei Invaru are typically worshipped in tandem. Huereina, however, is hardly followed in northern regions such as Fjordstrond. Given they live without seasons, her teachings make little sense and they see no reason for winter to end, as they have adapted well to their environment.
In more volatile environments, citizens may pray to Huereina in hopes of a shorter winter. Blizzards and deadly temperatures are typically attributed to her feelings of isolation and many believe that praying will give her the consolation she needs for the storms to end.
