Vinga
Warrior Daughter of Orlanth
During the Storm Age, Vinga was a good natured, loyal
daughter of Orlanth and Ernalda. Vinga became one
of the War Women, who joined the fyrd in battle. Her
cleverness and bravery brought her admittance to the
ranks of the Thunder Brothers – the only woman among
that band. Her first great deed occurred after Orlanth
had departed on his quest, when she protected Mahome,
the hearth fire goddess against Valind and pierced him
with her Mile Throw Javelin. Later, her wit, courage and
tenacity helped many humans survive the horrors of the
Great Darkness.
Vinga is known wherever Orlanth is, but her cult is
only found in any great numbers in Esrolia, Kerofinela,
Heortland and Ralios. The cult wields little political
power but is a refuge for those women unable or unwilling
to follow the ways of Ernalda and her daughters. Vinga
is depicted as a young red-haired woman with spear and
helmet. Her cultists are expected to protect the helpless,
avenge women and kin, and be fiercely independent.
Vinga’s temples are of all sizes but few tribes support
more than a minor temple. However, many large temples
exist in Esrolia. Shrines to Vinga teach Hurl Javelin.
