Acra

The goddess of harvest and healing. Pale skinned, blond of hair and with blood red lips

The daughter of Merrig and Fenrir she was killed by her sister who had become jealous of her for being her mothers favorite. What no one knew at the time was that she had been pregnant when she died. Her children somehow survived and their descendants became the Harpai. Merrig took care of her child and sent her body to the underworld so she could rest in peace. However, upon seeing Acras body, Raten became infatuated with her and brought her back from the dead. At first weary of his advances, she was eventually worn down and married him. Together they had two sons, Anubey, who was the spitting image of his fathers better half, and Brigg who was even wilder than his mother had been when she lived above. She loves them both very much, as does their father, but she prefers to not remain in the underworld more than she has to, so she often stays in the mortal realm.

Once, when she visited the southern shore of the mortal realm with her sons, they came upon a group of hill giants running amok pillaging and slaughtering the locals. Anubey flew into a fit of rage after seeing the injustice of the slaughter and slaughtered the entire tribe as punishment. While he was doing this, Brigg played his instruments to calm down the survivors and Acra healed both their wounds and their lands. However, the people of the shore had been stepped on so severily that they could never be more than half as tall as they had once been, and the land was permanently damaged. After the whole ordeal was over the giants bones were used to create hills that the people, now known as Halflings, could live in to protect themselves from another attack. After Acra and her sons had left them they named their land the Footprint, or the Smiling shore, because they never forgot how the gods had brought them back from near ruin. Millenias later they still hold a festival and feast in rememberance of the day they were saved, called the feast of giants.
