[edit] 5 Followers
Oldra's followers, as the followers of Ushara in the former times, are cooks, peasants and many halflings. They believe in the "All-Mother" Oldra, the one who blesses the gardens, fields and domestic animals, newborn children, bearing mothers and birth itself. Most of her priests are female, who serve the Goddess from early years on into high age.
They believe that when they die, they will be brought to a big garden gate. Oldra stands at this gate, welcomes them, and if they have been good, they can enjoy the wonders of the never ending garden and meet old and new friends in it – if not, they are allowed a rest, and send back to be reborn with a new name to make a good sense of their life.
