Imaera is the Goddess of the Nature and Autumn. She is also often considered the patron of the sylvan elves.

While Oleani's realm is cultivation and the fertility of mortals, Imaera's realm is the wilds and unfettered nature. Her consort is Eonak, without whose rocky soil, no plant could grow. As the Goddess of life and growing things, hers are the plants and animals native to the land. Credited with the re-creation of most of the species on Elanthia, and with several of the human-like races, she is the mistress of shaping flesh, bone, and plant to suit any need. As such her blessing is often sought by those who practice the healing arts.

Imaera is also the Goddess of the harvest and so of the bounty which the land produces in its cycle of life. While Oleani oversees cultivation and agriculture, the final blessing of Imaera is needed for the spark of life. Because of this she is often honored in autumn festivals.

All of the aspects of Imaera are in direct opposition to the twisting and deformation of life forms practiced by some of the Dark Gods, and of the senseless destruction of life and land that most of their minions undertake as a matter of course.

Imaera’s preferred humanoid manifestation is that of a young woman, often sylvan, dressed in robes of leaves and flowers. In manner, she is exuberant. Her symbol is a golden sheaf of grain on a field of green when she is worshipped by farmers. The sylvan elves ascribe to her a brown doe on a field of green.

[Cleric Guild, Hall of Lessons]
Surrounded by a circle of arctic flowers and plants placed lovingly in pots of sparkling blue crystal, a statue of a woman clad in robes of leaves stands to the northwest. A blue-tinted glow filters down from high above, and the air swims with the scent of blooming flowers. In front of the statue is a wooden altar, draped carefully with long, twining vines and delicate iceblossoms.
Obvious exits: southeast

>look altar
Carved from blocks of thick dark monir, the altar is liberally draped with a deep green vine. Beautiful iceblossoms are tied randomly onto the vine, both plants wrapping around the altar in a loving embrace. Subtly engraved upon the face of the altar is a golden sheaf of grain.

>read tome
In the Common language, it reads:
"Life is abundant throughout the realms. Aid the life wherever you journey, and you aid Imaera, the wife of Eonak."

House Sovyn, Herb Garden

Located behind House Sovyn is an herb garden dedicated to Imaera and Kuon. The garden is accessible to the public and is located down the narrow footpath and the stone walkway from the Sovyn Courtyard. This room is considered a holy shrine.

[House Sovyn, Herb Garden]
A stone walkway weaves its way from the nearby pond and comes to an end at the foot of a large herb garden. A narrow stone path loops around the garden, with several beds of herbs and flowers surrounding the outer perimeter. At each corner of the garden, nestled within the plants, is an elegant marble fountain. Inside the looping path and standing at the center of the garden is a towering faewood tree. A trio of wooden statues stand at the base of the tree and are surrounded by numerous tiny flowers. You also see a frustrated snow spirit that is flying around, an unadorned simple wooden altar and a set of carved wind chimes. Obvious paths: none

>look statue
You see a trio of wooden statues. Looking at the statues, you see a cheerful sylvan woman statue, a hulking giantman statue and a petite doe statue.

>look sylvan statue
Nestled between two statues is a carved, beaming sylvan woman bearing the visage of Imaera. She wears a full-length robe composed of leaves and flowers, with sleeves reaching all the way to her fingertips. The grass beneath her bare feet appears visibly greener and more lush than the other grass in the area. She has one hand placed on the shoulder of a giantman statue kneeling beside her, while her other hand rests upon the back of a petite doe statue.

>touch sylvan statue
As you place your hand on a cheerful sylvan woman statue, a feeling of peace and calm washes over you. The wooden statue feels almost warm beneath your touch, and glancing down, it seems as if the grass around your feet appears more green and lush. As you remove your hand from the statue, the warmth fades from your fingertips, and the grass underfoot is its normal verdant hue.

>look giantman statue
Kneeling beside a sylvan woman statue is a carved, young, smiling giantman that bears the visage of Kuon. Wearing robes of a gold and brown hue, he holds a small shovel in one hand and a handful of seeds in the other. While large and imposing in appearance, a calm and gentle aura surrounds the giantman as he tends to a small bed of herbs planted at his feet.

>touch giantman statue
As you place your hand on the arm of a hulking giantman statue, a tiny seed drops from the giant's carved fist into a small bed of herbs planted at its feet.

>look doe statue
A small brown doe stands beside a cheerful sylvan woman statue. The doe appears to survey the entire area of the garden, its amber-inlaid eyes carved to give the animal an alert yet peaceful appearance. Exquisitely chiseled curves trace the doe's muscles, and even in total stillness, the statue manages to capture the grace of its living counterpart.

>touch doe statue
As you rest your hand on the muzzle of a petite doe statue, you notice an ambient light catch the amber-inlaid eyes. Though the statue remains motionless, the perfectly carved nose seems to nuzzle against the palm of your hand.

>look tree
This tall tree with branches extending in a circular pattern is a beautiful specimen of a faewood tree. In contrast to many of the surrounding trees, its greyish brown bark is perfectly smooth. Centrally placed in the garden, it provides cover for a trio of wooden statues and many of the shade-loving herbs. The faewood tree appears to be about forty feet tall. It can be harvested for seeds. You can try to shake, pluck, or climb the faewood tree.

>look fountain
A shallow pool of water sits atop the fountain, which appears to fill continuously from an unseen water source. The marble is remarkably smooth, giving the appearance of being sculpted over a long period of time by the running water. The soft trickle of the water falls is reminiscent of a gentle stream, lending a sense of peace and tranquility to the garden.

>sense
You open your soul to the lesser spirits in the area in an attempt to find a Minor Sanctuary. Nothing stands out to you.

Utilizing your familiarity with the divine, you sense the distinct presence of Imaera and Kuon's influence in the area.

Spell messaging

Major Sanctuary (220)
1st	Crisp and richly scented, a cool wind encircles you while a swirl of crimson, golden, and brown leaves obscures your vision... [Sanctuary of Autumn's Embrace] Oak and maple rise around a field of half-harvested golden wheat, their limbs festooned with the vibrant hues of autumn leaves. Bundles of grain create circular seats throughout the field and form a loose ring around a large doe crafted of straw and decorated with bunches of hydrangea. The quiet chirp of birds creates a soft, lazy song on the rich, earth scented air. Dozens of autumn leaves fall from their sturdy boughs and obscure your vision of the world around you...

Divine Wrath (335)
1st	As you pour your soul into an appeal to Imaera, you know that you are heard. The deep, quiet anger of the wilderness awakens within you, and you smell forest loam and hear the sound of wind passing through tree branches. As the ground trembles, you know that the power of Imaera has answered your prayer, and you sense the forms of animal spirits running past unseen. A brown stag materializes in midair, leaping out of nowhere to try to impale <target> upon its magnificent antlers! Almost even before the attack is complete, the stag leaps away as swiftly as it came and vanishes into the nothingness from which it sprang, allowing no time for retaliation.

She moves to your side and withdraws two crimson oak leaves and an acorn from her basket. You hear her soft prayer as she places the leaves upon your eyes and presses the acorn past your lips.
