Zeleria, Goddess of Beauty

The Goddess of Beauty, Zeleria, is the first woman to be granted godhood, as well as the first Wood Elf. Zeleria would be granted godhood just a short one hundred years after Tanolus. Zeleria in her mortal life was known as a passionate woman whose heart was large enough for any and everyone she crossed. A healer in her time, she served as a traveling apothecary, freely giving her supplies to those in need. Most notably, she is renown for the recovery of the Udrye forest, a region not far from the home of the Wood Elves. In 6,362 BC, the forest was utterly annihilated by two Leviathans who burned the entire region to the ground. Zeleria came to the region, and set out to restore it. She cared for the charred plants and coarse soil, the baked grass and the ruined trees had beauty within them that she saw.

 Over a course of 200 years. Zeleria nurtured the region to life, carefully adding to its ecosystem so that it could sustain itself once more. In 6,160, water flowed through the region again. Trees began to grow as grass reached for the skies, animals began to migrate to the oasis of life, the seemingly perfect ecosystem that was sowed by the hand of Zeleria herself is still regarded as one of the most beautiful regions of Astrica.

 It is this care for life, delicacies, and purity that granted Zeleria a position among the Gods. Zeleria passed a hundred years later when she rejected her immortality for her marriage.
