She was the only daughter of King Minark, she was to be the heir of his throne, in case he was killed or overthrown. She was one of the only god that cared for Llewellyn, the first Mortal that was granted with the power of the gods, but was too power for the world and was taken and trapped for the sake of humanity. She always begged her father to release the demigod from his chains, King Minark always said no, and started to get tired of her begging. Depressed on the answer she was given, her light dimmed. The world was put into complete darkness for 3 days before it came back. Tired of her father's answers, she let him out by taking off the chains. Llewellyn soon went back and gave the mortals part of his powers to make an uprising for the original gods, Anera tried to stop but Llewellyn slashed her chest, leaving her bloodied and wounded.

Saddened by the person she cared about, she soon lead the gods and the celestials against Llewellyn and his army.

The role she has taken after the great battle was to watch over the planes and protecting the world from Llewellyn and he's servants, or other beings attempting to harm the realm.

Anera's followers believe they should shine light to the shadows to reveal the truth. She often tells her followers to help people who need it, and to defend their lands from any force who tries to take it by force. She is associated with sundials, and is often shown in many of her temples.

Worship

The Priesthood

Those that believe they feel the calling to the priesthood enter the temple as an acolyte. Though a specific god may have been their reason for joining the priesthood, during their time as an acolyte they are put to service under each of the gods for a set period of time. If an acolyte completes this time of service they participate in a ritual where they are ordained into full priesthood under the blessings of each of the old gods. Priests that devote themselves to a single god and ignore the others are known as “fore priests.” A highly ranked priest that is devoted to the faith of Soltis would be called the fore priest of Soltis

There are a few high priests in Bozikar. The role of High priest is the highest position within the local church and carries with it great respect, but in order to reach this position an even greater ordeal is requested. A high priest of Bozikar’s gods must visit a sacred site for each of the gods. This quest that is guided by the gods, but must only be carried out by the aspiring high priest.

Places of Worship

The gods of Bozikar doesn't demand their followers to worship them, failing to attend church will not bring lightning down upon your head. Worship is given to them, and they expect it in kind. The gods are powerful, and their power has been demonstrated ages ago, and the people hope that, if they're lucky, my intercede on their behave, based on what they pray for.

To that end the people of Bozikar have constructed numerous places where they can go and pay homage or supplication to their chosen gods. From grand cathedrals to opulent temples, to simple shrines, all of these help to give the gods and other powerful entities a very physical presence in the world.
