Amara Goddess of Life (uh - mar - uh)
Amara the Mother-Dawn, the Bright Horizon, the Ever Bright, is the god of life represented by the sun. She represents family bonding, rebirth, prosperity, and good health
She is one of the most common deities that are accepted in most company. Considering her nature and what she represents she has amassed the most followers and accrued the most temples
Unlike many gods, she genuinely cares about mortal life and wants to help in the limited ways that she can. Because of this though, she's also spread thin and uses up much of her ability on others which means she's far from the most powerful. This does not mean that she is not powerful in her own right. She is described as being as powerful as the sun and as vengeful as the dawn
Amara is a Lawful Good entity and would never try to manipulate or deal with mortals to get them to do what she wants. Typically, her followers love her as much as she loves them and will follow any summon. What she lacks in power and fear mongering, she makes up in true devotion by her followers. Followers of Amara are expected to marry and have large families with several children if they are able. The truly devoted will perform a ritual of sorts, they will make a template out of cloth, metal, or anything they choose to and enter somewhere high up like a mountain top or somewhere open with lots of direct sunlight. They will lay their template somewhere on their body of their choice and they will lay there until the sun leaves a permeant sun-scorched mark on their body
She despises those that force their will onto others but believes that no soul is irredeemable
