Nori

Our Lovely Lady of Luck, The Beautiful Goddess, Nori Silver-Willow (a.k.a. Norasami Everbeautiful (Rhokara),)

"The vision from your dreams was beyond breath taking, no words can describe him, he is everything you imagine beauty to be every angle of his body, the shape of his lips and way he carried herself. Your hands fumble to try and express his stunning beauty with a clay and stone, you work so hard but in the statue is imperfect compared to the vision given to you. A part of you longs for this dream boy and it reminds you how sorely alone you are. It is to your shock that he walks by your store and remarks how uncanny the statue is of his likeness. The conversation quickly turns in an expected direction and you find him as pleasing to speak with as to look on. Some might call this luck but a smiling pair of pink elven eyes sent you that vision and gave you a little extra luck in thanks for helping paint her temple. How things unfold is up to you but this little twisting of the strands of fate was certain her doing, the doing of Nori the goddess of Love, or perhaps one of her matchmaking clergy acting in her sted"

Personal history

Nori was born a Sidhe Elf during the first age of mortals and she was famous for beauty, charm and her gradient hues of blonde and red hair (rare but found almost exclusively among elves it is often called Alf-Gold by non-elves or Nori’s-Gift by the elven peoples). Her beauty alone however was not her sole claim to fame. Nori was rare among the Sidhe in that she longed for freedom from the Fey Lords, longed for the free will of mortality and wantonly stood for the freedoms of the other Fey-Born races. The lords of the fey realm might have had her executed for her bold and rebellious nature had she not gained the attention of three of the young demi-gods who walked the world. Aerundore the god of music, Tartorus the god of war and Aruvan the god of the Sky. Admitly she had the attention of many; it was those three who most boldly affected the shape of her fate.
Aerundore would move subtly among the fey courts weaving lies and spying for Nori, delivering her information hidden in poems and songs gifted to her as symbols of his adoration. Aruvan in his bravado promised that the sun and moon alike would guard her from cowards lurking in the shadows and lastly Tartorus who was fond of showing off his physical might as he knew little other ways of show his affection stated he would duel any Fey Lord who dared to cross her and cave in their puny heads with a club made of Cold Iron if they so much as scratched her. Nori did her best to politely decline the three demi-gods while respecting their offerings. Though she did fancy them she supposedly had no desire to wed any of them, though as evidenced by her daughters clearly Aruvan the Sky God was her favorite of her three divine would be suitors.
Alas the attentions of the gods drew her an enemy far more terrible than any dark lord of the fey. Sal’zen god of destruction gazed upon her beauty and in his dark twisted mind longed to make it his and sully her. Sal’zen would take several of his most powerful demons and attempt to ambush Nori but as luck would have it his attempt to kidnap her came when Tartorus was on his way to show off his latest feat of martial power to her and the war god arrived just in time to see Sal’zen grasping Nori in his hands. The war god flew in a fury that shook mountains to dust and he and Sal’zen traded blows that would carve valleys and gorges in the earth and stone. As the lord of war engaged in a divine slugfest with the god of destruction Nori had to defend herself from Sal’Zens demons who were all too happy to try and claim her as a prize. Aruvan and Aerundore who kept tabs on the fair elf came to her aid as swiftly as they could with singing bow and sun forged blade toppling elder demons left and right. Alas so many were the demons and so eager were they to bring harm to Nori that their sheer numbers and lack of regard for their own lives would see at least one breach the demi-gods defending her and a single abyssal arrow of cold iron stuck her in the heart.
In the distance Sal’zen laughed (albeit through broken teeth and a blood-caked face) and he bellowed “Look at what the attentions of a god for a lesser being's heart have wrought! Had you not fancied her I would never have cared! Her loss is your doing and yours alone!”
Sal’zen disappeared in an explosion of volcanic flames and the three gods rushed to where Nori lay. Their attention had brought her ruin, in trying to protect her too much they had robbed her of her own agency and made her a target for something beyond her ability. Deeply saddened, the three agreed they had to make amends for their foolishness and so each would give a portion of his divine spark to restore Nori to life and break the immutable law that cold iron kills the souls of the fey-born. That day she died as a Sidhe and was freed from the cycles and laws forced on her by her fey creators and was reborn as a goddess.
She would go on to have many admirers among the gods and men and would become a symbol of freedom for the fey-born (especially the elves) who would become mortal and break the cycles the fey-realms held upon them.
