“There is much to do before you can reap the fruits of your labor. This applies to all areas of life, and only those who sow and care for their crops can eventually reap.”
Peraine is the goddess of fertility, agriculture, and the healing arts. Her name is invoked by all those who trust in her healing powers or hope for a bountiful harvest. This gives her a large following, because farmers make up the majority of the Aventurian population. Although her Church does not aspire to political power, nobles dare not act against her will for long, as they risk angering her numerous followers. The helpful priests of Peraine wear simple green clothing which is sometimes embroidered with patterns of maize ears. They serve mainly in rural areas, where they tend small temples or shrines, bless fields, and look after the sick and injured. The Church maintains infirmaries, hospitals, and large temples only in cities. However, many priests often travel to help where they are needed the most. The supreme Blessed One of Peraine, the Servant of Life, has chosen Ilsur, in Tobrien, as his seat and therefore the site of the main temple.
