Esulfa

Esulfa (ee-sool-fuh)
Goddess of the Grain, Maiden of Matrimony, Darling of Riches, Mother of Festival. The Goddess of Bounty has many names, but no one name really puts into perspective what she affects. “Bounty” is a loose term, as she represents not just bounties in wealth, harvest, or food, but also in family, property, and happiness; anything that represents excess, even drunkenness, is credited to Esulfa. Depicted as a many-armed, mother-like figure, and often holding offerings of bounty in each hand. Arguably the most popular God in the Pantheon, her followers are often agrarian in nature, but many Nobles from around Kadoor venerate her and she is often depicted in great halls or banquet rooms. Every Spring, when the White trees of the Council Gardens bloom, the Bountiful Day occurs and a great feast is had in the Citadel, and much of Kadoor, as word spreads of the blooming. People exchange gifts representing the bounty that person has experienced since the last Bountiful Day. Some people “ride” the festivals as far out as they can, first attending the Citadel's celebrations, and traveling outward as word travels in an effort to celebrate (drink and eat and revel) in as many displays as they can. Esulfan priests don't have formal titles, and many are affectionately called Carer. Most Esulfan “churches” are more like farming communes, and they come in all types, but all of them have Esulfan Silos, which are often painted green and are prayed over during times of harvest, festival, and right before winter.
