Helena

Helena is the God of rest, home, mothers, nurses, comfort, sleep, and virtue. She is patron of inns, hotels, housekeepers, and sleepers. Her husband is the God Hadryon. Together they are known as The Tavern and the Inn.

Description
Helena is depicted. as a tall, motherly woman clad in a simple frock like that of a maid or housekeeper. Often shown with arms outstretched in welcome, or bowed in a polite curtsy.

Church
Helena's church is headquartered in Fairwater Cathedral. The building is very similar to The Tavern Cathedral it was built to replace when the first one sank into the marsh. Inside the cathedral is an operating inn, where a weary traveler may rest and recuperate for a small donation.

The day after Saint Hadryon's Eve is known as Saint Helena's Morn, and is celebrated by a day of fasting and rest and recovery from the feast the night before.

The Tavern and the Inn
Collectively, Hadryon and Helena are known as The Tavern and The Inn. Followers of either god hold both of them in high regard and they are typically depicted together as a pair. The Church of Hadryon and the Church of Helena merely disagree on which is the principal of the two gods, and which one's example should be followed primarily.

Relations between the two churches are generally genial, but members of both organizations look down on the other for misinterpreting the teachings of their gods. Followers of Hadryon are called Hadrish while followers of Helena are called Helenite.

Historically, the Hadrish and Helenite sects were unified in a single Church of Tavern and Inn. This single church built a cathedral. Over the centuries, as the cathedral sunk into the marsh, the church began to splinter into two sects. Eventually the sects broke apart, and the Helenite sect built a new cathedral in Upper Fairwater.
