Elandria

The Lady of Light. Chief among the gods, and the one most of Newcome prays to when it matters. Her clergy hold that she led the World Builders in the first betrayal, that she gave up her body at the Awakening so mortals could have will of their own, and that she has depended on mortal faith ever since.

See The Awakening for the account her own church teaches, which is stranger than most of its readers notice.
