Zorah is the wife of Kaal and the protector of all life on Imarel and Ishaela. She is considered to be the most powerful of Imarel's gods though she does not carry this strength with any grandeur or circumstance. Imarel is her garden and she tends to it as such, planting things, watching them grow and beautifying the world for their presence, before passing on. Even things inherently evil she finds beauty in, if for no other reason than its need to exist.
There is little doubt that Zorah has a greater interest in the matters of Imarel than Kaal does, who prefers to allow mortals to decide their own fate. Zorah believes that direct and indirect intervention is more often than not required, when the agents of Chaos almost exclusively choose to intervene directly in the matters of mortals. While Kaal should not be thought of as indifferent, Zorah is certainly more proactive than her eternal mate in the matters of the mortal realm.
In battle, Zorah wields a gleaming golden war-spear known as Narseeya. This weapon has the power to control the weather at the will of its Mistress and can throw lightning bolts of infinite power and range. When Narseeya is thrown, it becomes a terrible twisting shaft of lightning that cannot be deflected by any armor or magic. When the weapon impacts, it re-materializes as a gleaming spear, unleashing the fierce blast of lightning, followed by a buffeting gale of tornado-like winds. Legend tells of Zorah lending Narseeya to worthy mortals, when the need is great but always, the war-spear returns to its Mistress and can never be stolen.
