Oreyara is the goddess of clockwork. From her were born constructs, clocks, jewelry, and any craft that is not architecture, smithing, art, or music. She came into being by the combined efforts of Livrosea and Groumuth.

According to a drawing by Log, she has four arms.

Pictorial carvings in her temple near Balton village depicted her creation, her struggle with a giant creature that was a massive mound of teeth, fangs, and claws, and how it knocked her sword, the Time Cleaver down to earth.

In episode 39 / Podcast 27, Log revealed that Oreyara also has dominion over time, a domain she absorbed from a dead god.

According to Log she is "growing." The significance of this is yet to be revealed.

History

According to Log's big book of Oreyara, the Livrosea and Groumuth were arguing over who would preside over the domain of craft because mortals were finally mastering it. Livrosea felt that craft fell under her as the goddess of art and beauty, whereas Groumuth felt that it should be his because it involved the work of the forge. They compromised and built Oreyara, a being of sublime beauty and intricate design that was the perfect mixture of Groumuth's engineering and Livrosea's beauty.

Oreyara eventually came into conflict with Gnash, demon god of mindless destruction and slaughter. Their conflict reached a conclusion over the continent of Alivast and while the clockwork goddess was able to overcome and imprison Gnash, her sword was lost and she was gravely damaged and came crashing to earth.

She landed on the Mountain of Repetition, forming a massive crater from her impact. She was found by silver kobolds who repaired her, allowing her to once again ascend to her celestial realm.

Celestials

All celestials of Oreyara are constructs, but not all constructs are celestials. Oreyara's home plane is a landscape of gears and clockwork, and among it's residents are modrons as well as a variety of other constructs.

Sigdsaw

A Sigdsaw is a type of celestial which is a being constructed mainly out of whirling buzzsaw blades. They are tasked with gathering wood for crafting and dealing with overgrowth. One was summoned by Log to help The Unexpectables escape Fleur de Mort

Corrupted Celestials

Several celestials of Oreyara have been corrupted by the influence of Gnash, turning them into mindless killing machines. These corrupted constructs leak a bloodlike ichor and teeth when damaged. If disassembled, it is obvious that they have teeth and ichor in internal spaces like tumors.

Fortunately, these corrupted constructs are few in number and only found in the Mountain of Repetition where the battle between gods reached its climax. Their connection to Oreyara has been severed and they are doomed to wander and kill until they are destroyed.

Constructs

In Alivast

At some point in recent history, Oreyara began 'speaking' to constructs in Alivast. When they heard her voice they awakened to sentience and found a particular calling or purpose that they felt driven to fulfill. This "Drive" is usually phrased in a way that reflects creating something, like 'make horseshoes'. but the creation can be immaterial like 'poetry' or even conceptual like 'love'. In Alivast, many, if not all the constructs created by Artimus have heard her voice and have begun new lives trying to fulfill their new callings regardless of what their physical designs were intended to do.

In the Mountain of Repetition

The kobolds of The Seat build constructs as an act of worship to Oreyara, often building them at her specific direction. The constructs there can communicate directly with her, receiving commands and answers to queries. They exist in to carry out her wishes and do so gladly.

Clergy and Followers

The clergy of Oreyara are few in number. Her temples consist mainly of craftsman worshipers who make clocks and other devices. Actual clerics of the clockwork goddess are rare.

Named Followers

Margo
Construct 4 (Log)
Big Guy
The "Fan Club"
Gear - a construct paladin of Oreyara played in a private one-shot by @nutcaseart and mentioned in the main campaign.
Due to the personal nature of hearing Oreyara's voice, all awakened constructs could be considered followers to some extent.
Dwarves have a strong appreciation for Oreyara due to her association with Groumuth and much of their work.

The Grand Tinkerist

The "fan club" is an unofficial term for a group of Oreyara followers who inhabit a jewelry workshop in the crafting district. They consist of 3 gnomes, an elf, and a human who is a "Grand Tinkerist" of Oreyara (a powerful forge domain cleric) who crafts jewelry and music boxes. The Grand Tinkerist was first encountered when he sold the music box that Panic gave Willow and Doros as a wedding present. He is reportedly from Balton Village prior to coming to Alivast. He is very patient with constructs, educating any who are interested in the jeweler's craft.

The "Silver" Kobolds

When Oreyara fell to earth, the kobolds of the Silver Mountains recognized her as a powerful being and immediately began to worship her without question. She gave them a sacred text which contained instructions on how to create constructs. For the kobolds, the assembly-line manufacture of constructs, clocks, and giant mechanical dragons is an act of worship and devotion to their goddess, and they gladly take on new projects when Oreyara commands.

Trivia

Per a Q&A answer from MontyGlu, prosthetic limbs exist in the world and are more in Groumuth's domain than Oreyara's. They are also exceedingly expensive.
Her suggested cleric domains are Forge and Knowledge
