Veymaa (Vee-mah) is the second of Kanaste's sons. Quiet and soft-spoken, the Gentle King often restrains the temper of the storm goddess, his sister Rekmaa. Knowing all healing arts, he is said to understand plants nearly as well as Komate, and he is always quick to teach what he knows to his followers. He dislikes violence, and prefers to use Patience to trip enemies when he is confronted in avatar form, knocking them over until they stop attacking.

History and Relationships
Veymaa is the second-youngest of Kanaste's children, and the most gentle. He cautions patience and goodwill to his fellow gods, and looks for the least harmful solution to any problem. He gets on very well with others, even more aggressive gods like Rekmaa and his older brother Bornaon or the Sun-King's retainer, Horuman. He is one of the few to have any length of conversation with the silent and bookish Darja, who occasionally seeks out his knowledge on the arts of healing and curatives.

Dogma
Cause no needless pain; do no unnecessary harm.

Heal those who are in need of help, and you will be healed in turn.

Take no more than you need, and you shall have all you desire.

Concern yourself as much with wounds of the spirit as wounds of the flesh.

Keep your tools, your person and your abode clean, and you will know better health all your days.

Clergy and Temples
Clergy of Veymaa wear simple light gray robes which are kept neat. They often shave their heads or wear their hair quite short, and are known for their personal cleanliness. All temples of Veymaa are fairly large, spacious and well-lit affairs, usually with an open-air courtyard; most cities that host one give generously, since Veymites provide free healing whenever possible. Clerics and paladins of Veymaa pray for new spells at noon whenever possible.
