Melana, Goddess of the Hearth and Partings

Called The Provider, Comforter of Mothers, and Watchful Matron.

Melana's temple is the Great Hospice of Orman on the Isle of Ue in the Crescent Sea. There do the clean winds blow in a hundred windows, bringing the song of the seabirds and the smell of salt to the dying and the mad. Those whose times are passing are welcomed with open arms and their loved ones given comfort by Melana's faithful. As befits such a deity, sacrifices to Melana are practical in nature, usually food stuffs and bedding. Occasionally, though, someone will sacrifice themselves to the Watchful Matron and remain as caregiver to the needy of the hospice.
