Tashka

Tashka is the goddess of beauty, love, hope, and fertility. The 8th being to ascend to godhood, she is also the only true goddess by birth. Her parents are Aol and Zaena, therefore she did not have to achieve a great status in order to ascend; rather, she ascended at her birth. Tashka is the only successful divine birth in the cosmos. Religious scholars have divined that it is difficult for the gods to produce any children, yet the reasons are usually subject to argument. The most prominent of these concerns is the fact that the children born are deformed or die very early. Some others argue that the gods are mostly sterile and cannot usually produce viable offspring.

Regardless of the truth of this matter, Tashka is still a full goddess to the eyes of her followers. She is one of the most benevolent deities, and many use her priestesses to make their marriages official or to bless their newborn children.

Some heretical factions have used Tashka as a means to pursue more lustful avenues of existence, but Tashka does not promote bouts of sinfulness.
