Rhen is the most popular and widely worshipped deity in The Nine, whose presence can be felt by all who bask in the joys of life. As the goddess of fertility and prosperity, her nature is reflected in her avatar: a stout woman with a kindly smile and a supple form, carrying a cornucopia that overflows with fresh fruit and medicinal herbs, clothed in an amber-colored dress that billows gently, like a field of grain before the harvest.
Followers of Rhen span the breadth of civilization, from the humblest farmers to the most prosperous of merchants. But it is only the most devout and selfless among them who truly embody her teachings. In places of healing, they tend to the needs of others as midwives, physicians, and caretakers, providing comfort to the sick and the poor as they seek to share the warmth of their beloved Hearth Mother with the whole world.
Though the winds of change may blow and the tides of fate may turn, the Hearth Mother’s worshippers remain steadfast in their embrace of all that is good and loving in life. Whether it be in the laughter of children or in the buzzing of bees, in the indomitable spirit and determination of mortals or in the bonds of companionship, Rhen is a reminder that, even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
