Grandma Myrna is the halfling matriarch goddess. Though she is placed beneath King Jollity in the hierarchy of Everholm she is seen as the power behind the throne. She is revered for her great wisdom and foresight and she is a paragon of patience and empathy.
Appearance[edit]
Grandma Myrna takes the appearance of a portly old halfling woman. Her grey hair is piled in a high bun on top of her head. She is often depicted with a cauldron and a wooden spoon. Her favoured colours are purple, grey and blue.
History[edit]
It is thought that Grandma Myrna is an ancient spirit as old if not older that the spirits of the season. She tends the hearth and oven in Underhall, King Jollity's home.
Worship[edit]
Although halfling communities revere Grandma Myrna they do not raise churches or temples in her name however Hearth shrines in her honour are relatively common. She is the god most appealed to by halfings. She is particularly beloved of mothers and grandmothers.
Clerics[edit]
Grandma Myrna sponsors more clerics than the other Blithe Spirits. Clerics devoted to her tend to be the elder matriarch of a halfling community.
Divine Interventions[edit]
As a minor deity Grandma Myrna has little power in the material realm, but her gift of foresight gives her insight into future events. When she appears on the material plane she does so to nudge events in the direction of good.
She is known to test halflings by disguising herself as quarrelsome old crone, rewarding those that are patient and generous.
