The lesser goddess Yeraiah was elevated to her position after her marriage to Mikon early in his godhood. Although she did not create a race for herself, Yeraiah took on some followers and helped them to survive in Jechran, the area they called home. Yeraiah serves a complementary role to the warrior goddess, Dre'Ana, emphasizing the balance of strength and femininity in women. She favors the women in the world who are self-sufficient and strong.

The teachings of Yeraiah state that the balance of the land is tied directly to the fertility of women and their role as lifegivers and caretakers. She taught the women of Jechran the art of sowing and ploughing so they could survive and is credited for many of the herbal secrets that supposedly increase the chances of female births. Her focus on women and her drive for balance come from the belief that men habitually ill-treat the earth yet she, like a patient cow, keeps on serving them and, thus, keeping them alive.

There is no official structure known as the Church of Yeraiah. Her worshippers tend toward the druidic or ranger callings, and devote themselves to maintaining the balance of the lush forests of Jechran and the world.

There is a shrine to Yeraiah in Visimontium.
