Description
Chelarra is a minor deity beloved by Kertinians who prize safety, peace, and the steady rhythms of a quiet life. She inhabits leafy groves and sun-dappled thickets where tortoisefolk find refuge from predators and scorching noon heat. Under Chelarra’s watchful eye, hidden burrows remain cool and secure, and the soft hush of rustling leaves lulls weary travelers to rest. Healers and caretakers leave offerings of tender shoots, sweet grasses, or carved wooden tokens at small earthen shrines—humble signs of gratitude. Though not a grand goddess of storms or mountains, Chelarra’s gentle protection ensures that even the most modest hollow can become a sanctuary, allowing her children to find comfort, resilience, and quiet strength amid the bustle of a changing world.
