Leyth (lay-th)
The Verdant Matron
Leyth, the Keeper of Farmlands and Meadows, is the patron of farmers, shepherds, and florists. Her worship and religion is about taking care of the land and knowing the signs of what the plants need to produce as much as they can. Her priests tend to travel around the land or remain on a nation's high council, offering advice to farmers during growing and harvesting seasons, as well as in the winter to prepare for the coming year's harvest. They often work with priests of Talia to predict the weather for a season or a few weeks, to better assist the people in tending their crops.
Leyth is the daughter of Talia and Damara, one of the three children the couple produced. From Talia, Leyth was taught a healthy respect for nature and the land, and from Damara, Leyth learned a respect for life and how to nurture and protect it. Most scholars believe Leyth to be the middle child of the three, but no one knows for sure, as the history of the Light Pantheon remains mysterious.

Tenets of Faith
- Learn to listen to the crops and plants, they know when they need water, sunlight, or shelter.
- Take care of the land, never overplant or overstrip.
- Nature will provide if one takes proper care.
- Droughts and floods happen and can hardly be predicted. They may lead to a bad year, but one way or another they lead to better years afterward.
- The land grants many gifts. One should partake in as many as possible over one's life to sample the various gifts of the land.

Identifying Characteristics
Leyth is generally depicted as a halfling woman, with skin darkened by a life of working in the sun. She typically wears colorful cotton or canvas clothes and is usually depicted with flowers in her hair, either sporadically or a ring of flowers. Many portraits of Leyth also show her carrying or surrounded by sheaves of wheat.
