Verenestra
The Oak Princess. N Lesser power of female faeries, charm, beauty, dryads [She/Her]
Pantheon: Sylvan
Symbol:Â A filigree-edged silver mirror
Realm: Feywild / the Silvery Bower
Daughter of Titania and Oberon, Verenestra is a vain and fickle goddess who serves as patron of dryads and nymphs. Though she learned at the foot of Emmantiensien, she inherited some of the worst traits of her mother prior to the manifestation of Cegilune. While she has never taken fully after that wicked goddess, her narcissism calls to mind the selfishness that twisted the hag deity. Her palace of living trees, the Silvery Bower, stands out from the rest of her realm, for Verenestra’s court is composed of autumn eladrin and her domain carries all the resplendent colours of fall. Nerra have been seen coming and going from the Bower, an unwelcome intrusion in the Feywild and one that poses an uncertain threat to the Seelie Court.
