Jaidi is a goddess of agriculture worshiped by the people of ancient Azlant. She represents the pleasure that one feels when contributing hard work for the community as a whole.1

History

A depiction of Jaidi.

Jaidi taught agriculture to the ancient Azlantis, allowing them to sustain millions of citizens.1

Relationships

Jaidi is married to Erastil, and their children are the empyreal lords Halcamora and Cernunnos.2 She opposed Lissala, whom she thought treated hard work as nothing more than toil born of obligation or greed.1 Due to Jaidi's focus on agriculture and self-sufficiency, which form the basis for a strong community, she often confers with Kazutal.3

Church

Worshipers and clergy

Jaidi was one of the oldest Azlanti deities. Shrines carved with her religious symbols and dating back millennia had been found during the empire's height. Her followers, mostly traders and farmers, enjoyed contributing their hard work to the good of their communities. After Earthfall, some of her followers attempted to restore the land with her techniques; their success was limited, but their dedication to hard work gave fellow survivors the strength to endure the Age of Darkness. In modern times, Jaidi remains worshipped only by small communities scattered across Golarion.1

Temples and shrines

Cooks who worshipped Jaidi often maintained small shrines dedicated to her in their kitchens.1
