Ospra

“Mother Ospra, I have drunk deep of life; I have shaped and been shaped; I have seen and felt unfettered! Guide me back to your arms so I may recount passions untold and feel your embrace once more.”
-The Hedon Death Prayer

Form and Powers

Typical temple relief depicting Ospra's resting form.

Ospra was a perfpect shapeshifter, and as far as anyone knows, had no single true form. According to several accounts it did seem to have a favored "resting" form it would take when taking audience with petitioning worshippers.

Pillar Dogma

Common misconceptions are that the Pillar is all about romantic and carnal love, which although there is a great deal dedicated to that, it includes discussion of passion as a general virtue; Passion for one's skills or a hobby; being intersted and involved in the world around oneself and taking pleasure in both the mundane and seeking out the extraordinary.

Word of God reality on this

Ospra was ultimately interested in breeding with humans to see what strange new forms they would produce. Ospra did not intentionally mean any harm by this, but it certainly did not consioder or care about what effects it would have. It did have an affection for its adherents, but it at times could be a bit possesive, or alternatively ambivalent to their problems. It didn't really do anything to help alleviate the societal problems its wildling descendants had. One could almost say it more viewed what it was doing as a big fun genetics project to just see what happens.
