Aya

Aya is the main deity of the West Lands - the Goddess of All Life.

Appearance
She is often depicted as a woman wearing a flowing robe of willow leaves and lilies - ironic, considering the lily is the flower of Death. Her hair is long, and golden, although some drawings depict her with silvery hair. In every piece of art, Aya has a baby animal by her side, usually a lamb.

Worship
The people of the West Lands do not actively worship any god or goddess. Many believe they do, or at least did, rule the world from above, tweaking the strings of everyday life. However, the only active religious group known about is the Medan K'Jaan, the sinister cult that devoutly worships the Kerajaan as Gods of Death and Chaos.

Many pay homage to Aya by leaving a wreath of irises and lilies by her Temple in their nearest city, one day a week. She is also prayed to in times of difficulty, but aside from that, she does not play a major role in the lives of Westlanders.
