Holidays
Day of Beauty
Printemps 14
Many small villages and smaller cities have their own festivals on this day, where artwork, craftsmanship, music, and all other manner of creativity and beauty are celebrated. These festivals are filled with wonderful performances ranging from music to poetry to storytelling. Villagers are encouraged to share food and drink with one another and to set aside even their differences for the day. In the mountains, offerings are made to Bevara in hopes of protection through harsher winter storms and for the blessing of an early spring.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Bevara is regaled as the patron of the arts, and many bards and artists pray to her for inspiration. Her worshipers are especially concerned with beauty and pleasure, and many Eladrin nobles have taken on her philosophies to establish their own standards within elven civilization.
Her lesser known province over cats has cropped up in strange ways, some followers even going so far as to believe cats to be sacred to the goddess, and some use them as creatures of protection and luck from Bevara.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
The Beacon has many depictions as the inspiration and matron of artwork and creativity, though usually she is depicted as a beautiful elven woman with long, silky blond hair and delicate features. Many depictions also portray her with a multitude of cats, though most notably the white, three-eyed cat of her symbol. Sometimes she is depicted playing the harp or other instruments, or walking through endless fields of flowers. There is no standard depiction of Bevara, and even her temples show quite a variety. She has also become a symbol of lust in some circles, lending to some lewd depictions of her with several male and female figures.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Bevara was a wild, elven bard who sang some of the first stories of the Creators as she hunted across the ancient and early lands of Fragmentia. She was a devoted and carefree spirit and Avandra loved that about her. Cats followed Bevara even in her mortal days and when the War for Creation began, Bevara's strange connection to the creatures proved useful. They fought beside her on the battlefield as Bevara wielded powerful magic over nature, dropping the ground from beneath many of the Corrupt Gods' disciples.
When Bevara ascended following the sacrifice of the Creators, she became enamoured with the wildness of the Beastlands, spending a majority of her time flitting between her new realm in the Golden Grove and gathering followers across Fragmentia, earning the respect of many druidic order whom she helped in the later stages of Fragmentia's development after the War for Creation.
Bevara tried to remain neutral alongside her lover Mirage during the Divine Wars, but some records indicate that she was unwittingly drawn into the fray. She has become perhaps one of the more aloof and silent of the Champions trapped beyond the Mortal Gate.
