Once a male deity of creation and craft, Thekmera is one of the few that rejected her position. She did not like being a deity of craft just as much as being male wasn't her thing. She recrafted her being towards a deity of mental health, change, and self discovery, most notably being the patron deity of trans people and people with mental health issues.
Appearance
Thekmera is often described as a beautiful woman in her 30s with the kindest smile one can imagine. She is often depicted as being dressed in rather impractical, but gender affirming armour with a winged helmet.
Biography
Thekmera was once the (primarily dwarven) deity of creation and craft.
At the end of the Dwarven Era she decided to change and stop being the deity of craft as well as stop being male.
Some say the treatment of other kin by the dwarves was the reason for this change, though that is debated. Some also say her change was responsible for the empires' downfall, which is equally debated. Dwarves, in general, do not blame her for the downfall and, while they don't worship her en masse anymore, have a good relation to the new goddess of Change.
When she became the Process, her position as the deity of craft had to once again be filled. This was done by Zettos, a celestial who was an apprentice of Thekmera's. Zettos was already worshipped by many who worshipped Thekmera, and they had great potential, so their ascension to godhood was swift and widely accepted.
Commandments
Everyone is on a journey of self discovery. Looking inwards and encouraging others to do the same is highly encouraged.
Worship
Casual followers of Thekmera include a lot of people that have undergone an important journey of the self over their lifetime; this prominently includes trans people, neurodivergent people, and people with mental health issues. More “full time” followers of Thekmera have temples all over Eludan, though there are not a lot, making them places of pilgrimage rather than casually visited places. They offer mental health services as well as services of medical transitioning and are generally a place of acceptance.
