Meet Naia - The Mother of Rivers 🐯

And the last known survivor plants their seeds in the night. And she's watching us all with the eye of the tiger. 🐯

Naia, the Mother of Rivers and Goddess of Water and Growth, is the first god you will meet on your journey through the desert in Wildmender. This gentle tiger goddess once ruled the luscious dunes, before the wraiths turned them into a wasteland. With you by her side, she wants to take back the dunes and restore this barren landscape to its former glory, one seed at a time.

“Water is life, life is water, and Naia the mother of both.”

Despite concerns from some of the other gods, Naia brought you back into the world of Wildmender to help restore the wastelands and free them from corruption. The dunes she once ruled were home to many farmers and medicinal experts, but that’s long since been forgotten. Her nurturing eye isn’t trained on the rivers alone, as she keeps you under her watchful gaze and protects you along your journey like a loving parent. At times, it may seem like she’s hiding some of her past and powers, even from you.

Naia will provide aid to you throughout your adventure. Using water and essence, she can create Blessed Drops, which can either be consumed for water, as an antitoxin, or used to restore blocked springs throughout the world.

Take a Tarnished Talisman to her and she can restore it to be a Flame Talisman - shifting the power of fire away from the vicious wraiths and into your hands.

Oh, and don’t forget to bring her favourite offering - Acorns! They may be the key to your goal of restoration.
