Saephyna was a Warrior Woman of old, fabled for her use of a spear in each hand, and carrying no shield.
It is said that she crawled from the head of the Sleeping Father himself, birthed fully formed without awakening him. She is known to have fought in many campaigns, especially in the South of Atamara, in and around the Ash Sea Islands.
She is a proponent of peace and prosperity through warfare, and puts forth child-bearing as the most noble of duties. Her legends say that she gives birth to 100 soldiers every night, and 200 archers on every full moon. (It is often said of well-fought common soldiers that "his mother birthed him hard", meaning they are born of Saephyna.)
She is represented as having eight breasts, in rows like animal teats. She is very beautiful and tall, and wears much armor and a tall helm. It is said that under her helm, her hair is indeed eagle feathers.
