WIP Mahoura – Dragon Goddess of Love

((Maa-aura)) is the Goddess of Love. It was once thought to be very strange for the Kurosian people to have such a Goddess, but the term ‘love’ isn’t quite the same. Mahoura represents the love of thy own people, the tie that bonds the Kuros together. She is thought of to be the first Yehkshir, therefor the mother of the species as a whole. She is the smallest of the Gods, often portrayed as an eastern styled dragon with countless arms along her body. Her head, although small and slender, is crowned with a triceratops like frill with complex holes carved in peaceful designs with blood gems scattered along them and her body. Her main statue, which is held in a large temple in the middle of the city (or the heart), is also adored with a flowing mane. She is said to be present in every Kurosian when they feel connected to their people, the feeling of pride and love is her. 

OOC : Um, I don’t think I ever shared this here. O-oops o-o’’’

This originally was my first go at Mahoura. I’m still not happy with how she looks, even though it was never finished. I’ll go back to it one day, drawing Mahoura is quite the feat and since she’s pretty much the ultimate God of the Kurosian people, I want to be more satisfied with her appearance.

But it’s worth sharing! I can’t believe I forgot to share ;n;

Lost Queen : The Mahourian Brothers and Sisters were the most holy of all the priests and priestesses. Mahoura was believed to be our first God, therefor, the mother of all the other Gods and of us as a species. She is not the most powerful, but the most sacred.

To be a brother or sister within the walls of Mahoura’s temple is to completely give yourself to her teachings and to your people in a way most Kurosians could not. They dedicated their lives to the scriptures to educate our people of not just Mahoura, but also the Yehkshir and basic knowledge of the other Gods. The lead priest or priestess had a chair in the Dark Circle, which consisted of all the lead religious heads of each temple to provide the King and Queen advice and offer their services for battles.

To give yourself to the temple is incredibly noble and admirable, and to be honest… if I could not become Queen, I would have either worked to be a Scribe of the court, or a Mahourian Sister.

Mahourian brothers and sisters did not fight in war. Instead, they’d linger at the camps to help give wounded soldiers moral support, and to fill them with Mahoura’s love and essence. They would also help end suffering of those soldiers too wounded to survive. 

They were not chosen by Mahoura persay, nor are they granted with special abilities. Rather, it’s an incredible love of their own people. Those that wish nothing more than to preserve what was our people, and to help them, became Mahourian. The Mahourian temple was also very closely linked to hospitals and other healing factions, such as medical education and colleges. Most doctors were Mahourian, but not all.
