Bevesta
Bevesta refers to a goddess as well as a Verevian nation.

Bevesta (deity)
As a deity, Bevesta was a mortal goddess who, while pregnant, had fallen to the mortal  realm little more than 20,000 years ago. As recounted by folklore, the sentient races nursed her back to good health and helped her climb back to heaven. Because they were so kind, she granted each race a gift that would become inherent to themselves as a reward. The goddess was said to have given birth to her son Xahl on Vereva who she left in the mortal realm, entrusting him to watch over the world. Making a tragic mistake, the goddess use up her powers to grant gifts and return home before she could make Xahl immortal. The Bevesdane royal family are believed to be direct descendants of Xahl and therefore the goddess herself.

Crown of the Royals
The Crown of the Royals is a Prayers|spell still in effect in Bevesta. The spell reveals to the public the identities of the Bevesdane royal family through turning their hair shades of green which is unnatural to all sentient faces of Vereva. The identity is kept public through the cultural tradition of extended hair growth and the prospect of never covering one's head, one of the most prominent religious taboos.
