[edit] Publication history
Verenestra was first detailed in the book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about her priesthood.[1] Her role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in On Hallowed Ground (1996).[2]
[edit] Description
Verenestra appears as a demure, slim female faerie (either a sylph, dryad, or nymph, as she chooses) of unearthly, fey beauty. She is always barefooted, wearing only gossamer garments the size of handkerchiefs to provide her with a semblance of modesty. She stands four and a half feet in height.
[edit] Relationships
Verenestra is the daughter of Titania and one of the Inner Circle of the Seelie Court. She is prone to jealousy, and avoids other goddesses of beauty, love, and romance such as Myhriss and Hanali Celanil[original research?].
[edit] Realm
Verenestra travels with the Seelie Court. She has her own bower there with silver birches, larches, plane trees, and fringes of willows, decorated with living silver filigree and jewels, with many mirrors inside for the goddess to gaze at herself in.
[edit] Dogma
Verenestra is a fickle, vain creature, but wise enough to know that she must help protect all the faerie realms in order to ensure that her patron races remain safe. Therefore, she is loyal to the Seelie Court despite her flighty, inconstant nature. She may occasionally send avatars to the Prime Material Plane to abduct handsome males.
[edit] Worshippers
Verenestra is revered primarily by dryads, nymphs, and sylphs.
