Brigantia rose up among the first of the Gods, and thus seized a great deal of power for herself. Brigantia rose her own mountains in the image of the Absolutes, using their own power against them. Her pivotal role in the war against the Aboleths she has been extolled as a Goddess of victory. Likewise, she is venerated as a Goddess of mountains, protection, and fire, for her deeds in the war against the Aboleths.
Perhaps one of the most beautiful entities in existence, Brigantia is bronze-skinned with fiery blonde hair. She wears a bronze breastplate, engraved with images of victory over death, disease, darkness, and the Aboleths, over a short white dress and wields a spear decorated with a solar icon, while she carries a globe of Ylembica, an eternal symbol of victory. She is often iconized with a set of angelic wings, lending to her relationship to the Angels, but it is unknown to what extent.
Brigantia created the Dwarves and gave them the mountains as their homes, which protect them as they, in turn, protect the mountains. As such, most Dwarves worship the sun as well as the mountains, and serve as staunch protectors of their chosen cause. Brigantia is actually the Elven name for the Goddess, who introduced her to mankind, to the Dwarves, she is named Ruheema, “High Mother.”
