Aerdith

Aerdith  (pronounced  Air-dith ) is the goddess of protection and healing. She maintains the principal of putting the need and protection of others above your own. Her symbol is a blue shield with a silver-white star on its middle.

Appearance:

Aerdith is often depicted as a giant, motherly figure. She is always shown with wild, red hair and as wearing bright armor. Several depictions show Aerdith with her shield, though she has also been drawn holding a large, golden heart, due to her having a “heart of gold.”

Doctrine:

Aerdith believes very strongly in the ideas of helping all those in need, citing pacifism and self-sacrifice as the necessary paths of all her followers. She does however, recognize that peaceful alternatives are not always best and encourages fighting to protect those too weak to protect themselves.

There are 3 main tenets to her faith: "1. Help all you come across, never for personal gain, but out of love for your fellow mortal""2. Violence should always be a last resort and is only to be accepted in the protection of others from certain harm""3. You are a shield to all those unable to provide their own protection"
