Okarra, Lady of Lore
Tales and lore, stories and songs, their creators forgotten, are attributed to Okarra. She will remember them all, even after the cultures that spawned them have crumbled.
Okarra is unique, as she is one of the few deities worshipped in both Dwarven cultures and Elves cultures. However, two major interpretations of Okarra exist, likely due to the differences in cultural values. The Lady can be a younger woman, the bard in the local tavern and the campfire storyteller; or the wise old Clanmother, lulling a child to sleep with memories of yore.
Aside from being a keeper of tales, she's also often considered a guardian deity of children, leading to many children and new parents to be gifted her protective charms.
Likely an aspect of Edar, the Founder of Earth or possibly Hesjing, the Founder of Water.
She is sometimes conflated with Bathys, Lady of the Deep and Ator, Lady of the Underground as a deity of secret knowledge. This interpretation of Okarra describes her as a keeper of ancient vaults lying below the earth and waves.
