Insaani godess of birth, life, reformation and patron of mothers and children.
Norae is one of the 3 main god-like beeings choosen by the big something in insaani mythology and belongs to the 1st level of their pantheon. She was a main force in creation of most lifeforms on Legonia and born Okeanos, Naja, Saard, Xo Ra and in some tales also the first pharao of the old empire. As mother of life and nature she's praised in many ways and cults, but lesser known on the western continent, where Venari or the big something took her rule. Images of Norae show a woman about 40 years with long black hair and a goblet, where she holds the spring of life.
As her demongod-opponent sometimes Orphelia, in other sources Chimaertra are pointed. This confusion could be one trace that possibly Venari is just Norae's incarnation on the western continent. But if so, Chimaertra and Orphelia are two names for the same demongodess as well.
