Rahja

Rahja is a fictional deity found in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. Rahja is the goddess of love, beauty, desire, and fertility. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman, sometimes with a mane of fiery red hair. Her followers are typically concerned with romance, passion, and the appreciation of beauty in all its forms. Artists, lovers, and those seeking fulfillment in relationships often venerate her. Rahja is known for her capricious nature and her deep understanding of mortal hearts.

Her holy symbol is a heart pierced by a rose. Priests of Rahja are often found mediating disputes, blessing unions, and encouraging acts of kindness and devotion. While her domain is often associated with gentle affection, Rahja also encompasses the more passionate and even destructive aspects of love and desire. Her influence can be seen in the blossoming of flowers, the passion of a new romance, and the fierce protectiveness of a parent. She is a powerful force in the lives of many sentient beings, guiding their romantic pursuits and celebrating the bonds of love and family.
