A statue of Morwha

Morwha, (also called the Teat God, Lady Morwha, and Desire's Root) is the Yokudan goddess of fertility and love. She is a fundamental deity in the Yokudan pantheon and is the favorite wife of Tall Papa. Morwha is always portrayed as four-armed, so that she can 'grab more husbands'. Her shrines are the shape of a beehive. She was described by potentate Versidue-Shaie as the lusty fertility goddess of the Yokudans, but not as lusty as Dibella. She is sometimes depicted alongside her winged guardians.

Worship[edit]

Her priestesses are known to officiate and marry couples. Sources have conflated Arkay of the divines with Morwha in the past although it’s unknown if this was speaking to a true connection or was simply a scholarly mistake.

Ornate silver teaspoon sets of four are a way of honoring Morwha, one for each of her breasts. There is a Morwha conservatorium in the city of Hegathe. Silver plates adorned with Morwha imagery are common in Hammerfell. There is one known play involving Morwha, 'Lady Morwha's Latest Marriage'. Visiting worshippers may place candles on her shrine.
