Silba is the Goddess of Healing and Gentle Deaths. Her bloodline runs through the healers of the Southern Continent.
General Information[]
Silba's symbol is the Owl, as seen carved in multiple places in the Torre Cesme. The color that represents her is lavender. Lightweight robes of lavender are given to healers to wear after washing before entering the Womb. The element that represents her is water, as it is purifying and cleansing and better tuned to healing.
Silba forged Athril's Ring, which grants the wearer immunity from the Valg. It was first believed that Mala forged the ring.
When Aelin trapped the gods in the Valg world, Silba was with them and presumably died.
Yrene Westfall is a healer with a strong connection to Silba. She was saddened when Silba died.

Trivia[]
- Silba is possibly based on Sulis, the Celtic goddess of healing, wells, and waterways, who was closely associated with the hot natural springs located in Bath, England. Sulis also has an association with the fiery heart of the sun. The Romans related Sulis to their goddess Minerva, represented by owls similarly to Athena, who is the goddess of poetry, wisdom, arts, science, and magic and referred to her as Sulis Minerva.[1]
