Ulaa, goddess of Hills and Mountains

#god #npc From rolling hills to jagged peaks, Ulaa, the Landbearer, holds it all close to her bosom hiding bounties and dangers deep within. She shaped the mountain ranges and UnderdarkUnderdark\#location The Underdark is a vast network of tunnels and caverns below the surface of Adestria. Despite it's size, the unknown dangers it presents make it difficult for many to venture far into its depths. Mainly without any source of light save for the occasional luminous rocks or fungi. Large portions of it are also without food or water, making well-stocked food supplies a must-have when exploring uncharted terrain underground. Subterror There exist within each domain of the Underdark, 8 tunnels with her warhammer SkullRinger. More uncommonly she is the patron protector of the hearth and home and is often depicted within wooden reliefs above fireplaces in people’s homes, though many have not made the connection.
