The Great Mother

History
The Great Mother along with her mate, the Solar Dragon, were among the first of the primordials. They were tasked by the All-Maker to watch over the newly minted world.

The great mother would bear many children, the younger primordials. And while most would take their appointed role in the cosmic order, some would not, but even those who turned from the right path she could never forsake and would protect from the wrath of her mate.

Relationships
The great mother loves her mate and all of her children, even when they have gone astray such as the First Betrayer or the Stillborn Queen.

The mother has little care for those whom she did not nurse, save for those who would bring harm to children and womenfolk, those and their followers may feel the wrath of her claws and fangs.

Ethos
''The mother cares for all. In the night she hunts away the evil who would prey on her children, in the day she nurses her children. ''

Only women may become followers of the Great Mother.
 * Let no man have power over you he has not earned. Accept not to be treated as inferior for your sex.
 * Let no harm come to children nor mothers.
 * When the time come, care for your own children; protect them, educate them, and see that they may grow old.
 * Always be faithful to your mate(s), honor and protect them. Support your mate(s) when they are rightful, bring them back to the rightful way when they are astray.
 * Fight any who would oppress women.
 * Listen not to tradition or let yourself be bound to others without first having found your way.

Great Schism
Through the ages, the Great Mother has manifested into two form; the communal wolf and the solitary great cat. Although both are very close, they also differ in priorities.

This twin manifestation has caused a schism her followers with some worshiping her more caring and communal wolf aspect, and others worshiping the more brutal and solitary cat aspect.

The two sects have sometimes even come to violently clash over the 'right' way of worship and behavior.
