Faria is the daughter of Pelor alone, because no mother bore her. One day, Pelor
developed a terrible headache. To relieve it, ? used his axe to split
open the mighty god's head. Out sprang Faria, full grown and fully armed and
armored.

Faria was the first to teach mortals many of the civilized arts. She is
credited with inventing weaving, the potter's wheel, the horse bridle, and
many other crafts. She also created the olive tree as a gift to mortals. She
is the protector of weavers, and, along with ?, the patron of
handiwork and all the arts that make civilization possible.

Faria is warlike, but only in defense of things she believes are worth
protecting, such as cities, towns and planted fields. She opposes the
destructive rampages of her half brother, ?, whenever and however she can.
