===== Arovaera, the Goddess of Love and Egotism =====
Arovaera, the goddess of the blooming rose whose essence is enshrouded in the thorny nature of the flower, is a being worshipped by many cultures for her association with beauty and desire. As a feminine spirit born from the water as it propagated itself into [[planes:void:start|the void]], she is known to encapsulate a great but fickle desire as it flows from her sexual organs to her psyche, where a certain semblance of life energy can be found and acknowledged there, though being fruitless as she lacks the caring and warm womb of motherhood. From her desire came a love for herself, and because of this desire of selfishness, she possesses a want for those objects which provide pleasure and satisfaction, all the while maintaining her ravishing beauty as a descendant of the water. Thus, she is regarded as a goddess of blooming desire, whose seeds of pure water and beauty came into themselves as the spectacular rose among the lands of mortality, thereby marking her influence of beauty there. Arovaera is believed to simultaneously exist as an example of self-love and being a goddess of love, with the compromise being predicated by her ability to love those who provide a certain warmth and love to her. Thus, those who come to her with love for her in their hearts are invariably granted a love back, so long as her desires are continuously granted and she is unrestrained in her expression of these desires.\\

Among the [[races:elves:undara:start|Undara]], various idols of Arovaera are present throughout the structures the Undara built within the deeps of the oceans, where an extraterrestrial beauty may be found as there is within the starlit sky. With each of these idols, it is always exaggerated her great beauty and the subsequent vanity which this invokes, as she gazes into a mirror in order to admire herself. Accordingly, she is particularly popular among the feminine Undara who wish to enrapture men of the surface who dare to tread within the ocean, where they assume the role of sirens that invariably cause the destruction of their ships as they bring them into a trap.\\

The [[races:elves:vaathara:start|Vaathara]], who inhabit the territories which they refer to as [[:regaayn|Regaayn]], is also a culture affected by Arovaera, with Arovaera possessing an extremely significant and defined role as a result of the unified government of Regaayn. Specifically, she is seen as the most feminine of the trio of the [[pantheons:class:valdaen|Valdaen]], those beings who hold court over Regaayn through their gifted mouths of elven flesh. Within this culture, Arovaera is thought to have adopted the Vaathara and taught their women the lessons of self-love and unrestrained desire, with this manifesting in the occurrence of celebrating sex within her temples. She is also involved in the production of the sacred texts which integrate sexual practices throughout it, and thereby granting the rules by which sex may be approached by for both women and men, though men being particularly restrained in their expressions.
