Description
Casdonna is a homemaker first. She loves seeing families and friends together around the fire. She will often sneak onto the mortal world in the guise of a young maiden and subtly encourages people to gather and work together as a community. She is more commonly seen during the summer months, as the warmth makes her feel alive.

Casdonna has been in the world in some form or another for a long time. Even when the world was run by other creatures, she founds ways to form communities and homes in the world. She opposed the Divine Cataclysm, but eventually came on board and ultimately convinced Aubade to agree.

Casdonna has always been a silent supporter of Aubade. Secretly, she may love him and keep that love a secret. She gets along with all the deities on the Higher Planes. She is diametrically opposed to Khanos, but they have a grudging respect for one another. She constantly opposes the Deites of the Nether Planes, especially Xorlog and Olum.

Clergy
Churches of Casdonna are often large communal homes or serve some civic purpose in the community. There is always a place to stay for the tired and hungry, and always room by the seemingly forever-lit fireplace. Town halls are held here, city council meetings meet there, and people come together as communities inside these temples.

The clergy are often dressed as commoners or as civil servants (as most of the clergy also have jobs in the community). When serving a clerical role or performing a ritual they wear white and red. They often are arbitrators in local disputes and organize groups and events for the benefit of the community.

The clerics of Casdonna perform rituals every night before bed and pray for their spells. They also have a ritual for the Summer Solstice and have a festive gathering afterwards. In some cities and villages, it’s a holiday.

Dogma
The home is where everything comes from. Life, children, community, and happiness. Maintain your home and your community, and like a garden it will grow to provide fruits of your labor. We are stronger together and can accomplish more than we can alone.
