Overview

Goddess of healing, in the form of a raven. Majenir believes in a balance with oneself; wounds and illness upset this balance, while healing restores it. Majenir, understandably, is a well-loved goddess, not only for her healing power but for the gentleness of her priesthood.

Depiction

The goddess of healing is depicted in the form of a raven.

Theology and Practice

Majenirans believe in a balance with oneself; wounds and illness upset this balance, while healing restores it. Majenir's dedication to healing means that most of her clergy are bound to pacifism, and most will not even touch a weapon, since violence is seen as overpowering the natural order. They will usually avoid offensive spells as well. They are not encouraged to be chaste, since marriage fulfills personal balance and harmony.

Many of her clergy are poets and musicians, as Majenirans hold that self-expression aids growth.

Religious Orders

The Radical Purists are a recent sect, espousing severe austerity in the name of health. They are viewed with concern and suspicion by the mainstream Majeniran church.
