The Summer Queen

Titania, The Summer Queen is the goddess of fey, friendship, and arcana. During the beginning of Salud, Titania wandered the lands, spreading magic and raising the forests. Titania created the first fey creatures, with her sister, Moire, and so they are the called the Mothers of Fey.

Appearance
Titania appeared as an eladrin of immense beauty. Her skin was the color of honey and her hair shimmered in all of the colors of autumn leaves. Her eyes glowed with gold like the sun.

Alternatively, her avatar would appear as a small but beautiful gossamer-winged fairie with flawless, pale skin and immaculate cheekbones and gray-blue eyes.

Titania always carried a diamond-tipped wand, and her avatar fought with a magic dagger. Compared to her innate powers, the dagger was mostly decorative, but the wand is a Staff of Power and surrounded her with a magic circle against evil. The wand could also create food and water or a hero's feast. It could also purify food and drink.

Personality
Titania seemed flighty and frivolous to some, but in truth she was a brilliant strategist both in court and on a battlefield. She had a dry sense of humor and could be very pragmatic when needed. It was almost impossible to make her angry, but if a truly despicable act roused her ire, the perpetrator would be faced with the most powerful wrath!

Symbol
Her symbol is a white diamond with a blue star glowing in its center, the antithesis of the black diamond symbol of her sister, the Queen of Air and Darkness.

Biography
Titania watched over all fey beings, be they dryads, pixies, satyrs, treants, unicorns, or any of the other nearly countless varieties, desiring that all such creatures could someday live in utter joy.

If harm ever came to faerie lands, Titania would not hesitate to send her servants to intervene.

Titania's avatar shared a number of innate magical powers in common with the other sylvan gods. Her avatar was immune to paralysis, all illusions and mind-affecting magics, and symbols and power words and could only be harmed by enchanted weapons. She was able to immediately recognize pure water, all animals and plants, and poisons. She had great charming powers, including the ability to place a geas on any creature to never enter sylvan lands. Titania could summon woodland creatures or swarms of critters to her aid. With a simple wave of her hand, she could entangle foes with any nearby vegetation.

Family

 * Titania had a famous love affair with Oberon, the Green Lord, and it was he who built her palace. Some even called the couple husband and wife, while admitting that both took other lovers freely. At other times, they were also great enemies; at still other times, they were both lover and foe at the same time.


 * Damh, the god of protection, was seen as Titania and Oberon's son.
 * Verenestra, the goddess of healing, is considered Titania's daughter after her father, Pelor was killed in the God War.


 * Titania and Moire, her sister, the goddess of deceit, created the land of faerie together. Moire had a secret hatred for her sister because of her belittlement in comparison to Titania. This caused her to side with the Betrayer Gods during the Great War of the Gods and she was eventually killed by Adonis. As punishment for this, Titania banished Adonis from Salud.
