	'''Marya''' {{Pronunciation\|MAR-yah}} is the goddess of liberation, martyrdom, food, and agriculture. Worship of Marya has traditionally been strongly focused on her aspect as a god of agriculture, and farmers in regions following the Chaskan pantheon have long prayed to Marya for a good harvest. More recently, especially in regions like [[Koritan]], the [[Western Coast]], and in [[~~Tirione~~\|~~Tirione~~'s]] colonies, Marya's teachings about liberation have gained many adherents. Both sides of the goddess' religion are now influential, though sometimes clerics emphasizing one school of thought find each other in search of common ground with the other.

	The Bringer of Bread is the patron of revolutionaries, agitators, and those seeking greater freedom and independence for themselves and their communities. She is also the deity most widely worshiped by farmers, pastoralists, and hunter-gatherers, especially those living in regions of scarcity.

	Marya's faith is especially strong today in [[Talam Galta]], where she is seen as the patron of the Free People who rebelled against Koritanite control. Her influence also slowly grows in ~~Tirione~~'s colonies around the western [[Chaska Sea]].

	Marya is the sister of [[Laverna]], twin goddesses born from the same moment. Both sprung forth when the first mortal beings observed the world the gods had created and desired something else. Where Laverna represents the desire for complete personal independence, Marya instead personifies the drive for freedom and self-determination for one’s community. Despite their similarities in the beginning, the followers of each goddess have taken their faiths in quite different directions.

	Legends hold that Marya looked across the world in her first moments and saw the plight of its people. Struggling to feed themselves, they barely held to life, with no opportunities to enjoy the beauty around them. Marya knew she could not sit by and watch. She snuck into the caches of seeds the other gods had used to sow the first plants, and began casting them by the handful down to the world. Edible plants and flowers alike began to sprout from these seeds, transforming the once almost barren landscape into a garden. The people rejoiced but the other gods took notice as well. Marya had stolen the plants the gods had reserved for themselves, and for this she was punished, driven away from the conclave to fend for herself.

	'''Izar''' {{Pronunciation\|EYE-zar}} is a goddess of farmers, pastoralists, and hunter-gatherers, seen as the deity that provides all the people of the world with food to eat. She is often prayed to before a harvest or when attempting to locate a meal, especially in times of scarcity. Izar is thought to appreciate small burnt offerings of food when the forests are plentiful and the stockpiles are full, which she then collects and returns to her followers when the lean times return.

	'''Ranash''' {{Pronunciation\|rah-NOSH}} is a goddess of food, hunting, animal domestication, and independence. Ranash is the goddess that sows the world with plentiful food, a view especially held to by hunter-gatherer communities. Particularly good hunts are thought to be blessed by Ranash, as are areas where resources can be found with ease. Her liberatory aspects are still present, though not in the same way as her interpretations in other pantheons, mostly directed at outsiders who would push the community away from their territory and homes.
