Qumara

Qumara, The Silver Oasis, embodies the gentle allure and quiet strength of the desert nights in Greater Qirus. As a goddess of the moon, she illuminates the vast expanses of the desert with her gentle, silvery glow, offering a guiding light to those who traverse the night and serving as a beacon of hope and guidance in the harsh wilderness.

Qumara is also the guardian of water, a rare and life-giving commodity in the arid desert. She is revered as the provider of oasis, a haven for weary travellers and a source of sustenance in the barren desert. Her influence over water extends to the seas, earning her the devotion of seafarers who look to her for safe passages over the vast oceans, her moonlight their guiding star.

Yet Qumara's domain extends beyond the physical realms of moon and water. She is also the deity of dreams, the mystical realm of the subconscious. She is believed to be the weaver of dreams, sending prophetic visions to some, offering solace to others, and leading dreamers on fantastical journeys as they slumber. Those who draw power from the moon or from the realm of dreams often worship Qumara, seeking her guidance to interpret their visions or harness their nocturnal magic.

Qumara's symbols are as enchanting as her domain. She is commonly represented by a silver crescent moon cradling a drop of water. The moon symbolizes her dominion over the night, her soothing light a balm to the harsh desert sun. The droplet of water embodies her dominion over water, representing her ability to bring life and respite to the arid desert and the open seas.

Her devotees, ranging from weary desert dwellers seeking a reprieve from the day's heat, seafarers navigating the moonlit waters, to dreamers and nocturnal magic wielders, often wear amulets or tattoos depicting her symbols. They celebrate her during moonlit rituals, gathering around oases to offer their praises and share their dreams.
