Rosmerta 

NG demipower of fertility, abundance, wealth, material possessions (She/Her)

Pantheon: Celtic (Gaulish)

Realm: Outlands / Ringlands / Marketplace Eternal / Cornucopia

Symbol: A cornucopia of fruit and coins

Rosmerta is the Celtic demipower of fertility, abundance, and wealth. As the goddess of material possessions and prosperity, she is more outward-looking than many of the insular Celtic powers. She shares the mercantile realm of Marketplace Eternal with several other powers of trade and wealth from all manner of different pantheons. Her quarter is called Cornucpia, and celebrates the bounty of the harvest and the wealth of the earth in a bustling market the specialises in foodstuffs and drawn customers from around the multiverse. This also places her in a unique position to gather information and understand what’s happening all around the planes, and she frequently brings back valuable darks for the Daghda and his court.

While Rosmerta’s realm is in the Marketplace, wherever she roams she is surrounded by bountiful harvests, abundant orchards and endless prosperity. Streams bubble with pure water when she is near, and the air is filled with the sweet earthy scent of ripe produce and fresh growth.

Her influence extends from the physical to the spiritual aspects of wealth and fertility too. Her visitations ensure that the land is rich in resources, and she promises her petitioners will enjoy prosperity and well-being in their afterlives. Rosmerta can occasionally be seen moving through Tir na Og, bestowing gracious blessings wherever she goes. Rosmerta is frequently linked with Lugh, another of the Tuatha de Danann, and together they often ranges outside of Tir na Og on godly business.

Rosmerta’s followers and petitioners include farmers, merchants, and cutters who seek material success. Celebrations in her honour involve feasts and exchanges of gifts, symbolising the generosity and abundance she holds so dear. Petitioners of the Marketplace Eternal are known to be some of the most generous merchants around, who care more for spreading abundance and mutual benefit than scoring a profit.
