Mariona

Mariona, Goddess of Peace

 * "Strife begets strife. Follow me and walk the path of peace."Laurel.jpg

Mariona is a goddess who prefers to see her followers avoid combat, claiming that peace cannot be won through violence. As a result, her boon is most frequently bestowed upon healers and other true champions of peace, though dire times have seen a few of her champions take up arms against a greater foe. Even nonbelievers can be heard calling out to her, usually just as they are being mugged.
 * Alignment: Neutral Good
 * Domains: Community, Good, Healing, Protection, Repose
 * Physical Appearance: Mariona is generally portrayed as a beautiful female dwarf with a smooth dark face and piercing green eyes. She only manifests personally to her most devout believers.
 * Holy Symbols: Fresh Flowers, olive branches
 * Favored Weapon: None (not unarmed strike, none)
 * Temples: Large temples and shrines dedicated to Mariona are common in nearly all cities, if only because they tend to offer the most comprehensive healing.
 * Other Notes: Mariona worshippers should bear in mind the monk Vow of Peace (found in Ultimate Magic), remembering that Mariona prefers to shower her blessings upon those who try to follow the path of peace
