Melantha, Goddess of the Seasons

When the Wyrm of Worlds imprisoned Demeter's soul in the Netherworld, She experienced a nightmare that would change Her forever. A ritual was performed to free Her from this prison, and She was reborn as Melantha, Goddess of the Seasons. She is the embodiment of dark and light within Nature, Her personality changing with the Seasons to reflect the experiences She had in the netherworld. Her first act upon returning from the netherworld was to battle the Wyrm and rid the world of its evil influence.

Her realm is but one piece of the greater whole that is Nature, and She supports the balance of Nature, accepting each Divine realm within it as an integral part of the cycle of life. Each Season in turn is essential to the Cycle: the Spring for cultivating birth and reawakening; the Summer for nurturing life and growth; the Autumn for culling the ripened harvest; the Winter for preserving through death and slumber. Each Season leads to the next, on and on until the Cycle leads to the beginning to start again.
