The Goddess of Creation

Goddess of Creation and Spring, she is the creation of Eleri, Goddess of Order, Sune, Goddess of Life and Taws, God of Chaos. She is the opposite to Dominic, God of Death, as well as Reann, God of Destruction. Called upon to aid in many wedding ceremonies, her blessing promises many healthy children and (perhaps ironically) and undying mutual love. She is called upon often, but rarely bestows her full blessing. Although almost always bearing a serene visage, Oriana has been known to break down and weep should one partner in a beautiful relationship (which she may have nutured) meet with a tragic end. She also has a more sensual side, playful and lustful.

Oriana is an adept martial artist and may have brought those skills to her people- along with the unusual weapon called the Ikasha. It is similar to a large throwing star, but more effective, and the accomplished user can cast it so that it will return safely to him. Oriana's symbol is the Starburst.

Oriana's choice of Essænce falls into two realms of power. Essence, and Channeling. But many of her followers feel her influence directly through the use of Channeling.
