Voranga Many-Sorrows

Rainmaker


Voranga lives as a solitary hermit in a cave near Ashwater Fall, kept company by a pride of alynxes. She is a priestess of Heler.

Voranga is a thoughtful woman, and many seek her for her wisdom. However, Voranga speaks in riddles, and is as hard to pin down as water.

Queen Ivartha the Skinner supports Voranga as the Cinsina tribal Rainmaker. Voranga’s duty is to increase the rainfall on the Cinsina’s fields and meadows. The rainmaking rituals involve lovemaking in the fields.

In spite of her age, she is still a handsome woman with youthful looks who has suitors from across the Cinsina tribe. Orstalor Spearlord is one of her suitors, and the Lunar Empire's Moon Dogs regularly try to catch him visiting her cave. Orstalor has always eluded them; mists and fogs conceal his departure. The tribe has enjoyed good years of rain since Orstalor began helping Voranga with her ceremonies.

She has married Red Cow men many times, and has many children from those unions, but she has never moved to any man’s village, refusing to be ‘second’ to anyone, always being simply a ‘love wife.’ Voranga tells suitors, in her defense, that she has loved all her husbands but her watery nature cannot be held or contained.

She is sister to Borngold Many-Brothers. He idolizes her, yet she frustrates him constantly with her moods and behavior.
