Overview

Mother Thamira is the quiet heartbeat of humanity — a goddess of fertility, family, healing, and harvest. She is prayed to at births, honored during planting, and remembered in lullabies passed from parent to child. Her love is not loud — it’s warm bread, soft rain, and the calm that settles after tears. Worshiped across villages, farms, and homes, Thamira embodies the peace of a life well-tended.

Mythology

  The First Cry: It is said Thamira was born in the moment the first child ever cried — her spirit shaped from the need to soothe and shelter. From that day, every breath of new life is her sacred song.
  The Hand and the Seed: One tale tells of Thamira planting a single seed in a dying wasteland. Where it grew, a great orchard bloomed, and with it, the first village. Her followers believe even barren places can bloom under her hand.
  The Cradle of Beasts: Some say she once wept for a hunted doe, and from her tears came the first domesticated animals — a divine gift to soothe and serve alongside mortals.

Appearance

Thamira is depicted as a gentle, full-figured woman with soil-dark skin and eyes like polished walnut. Her long hair is often styled with flowers, ears of grain, or simple braids. Children and small animals gather naturally around her. Her clothes are made from woven flax and flowing green fabrics, always touched by sun and soil.
