Fantasy

Isha is a fictional character from Warhammer Fantasy. The mother of all Elves, Isha is the Goddess of harvest and nature. Depicted as an Elf of life and beauty, the Elves of Averlorn follow her. Winter never blemished the glades of Averlorn with her blessing. The Elves were taught by Isha to farm and take care of the land.

Isha's symbol is an eye shedding a tear. In the beginning it was Asuryan who decided that Elves would die as all things do. They still lived for hundreds of years, but they would still die. This tear is for the tears that Isha wept for her mortal children.
