existence, and strike a mortal and pass on the divine ecstasy
of a direct connection with Mahte. From this connection,
Mahte can pass along divine inspiration to her priests and
contain a small degree of influence upon the mortal realm.
To memorialize the day of a priest’s first connection
with their goddess, all priests of Mahte carry a red cloth.
Some wear a red belt or scarf while others sew a patch of
red cloth into their vest or tunic. Others still honor their
goddess by stuffing a red handkerchief or favor up one of
their sleeves.
Aside from this red cloth, there is no official uniform
or garment worn by the clerics of Mahte. As the penalty for
worshiping the goddess is torture and death, all who even
knew what raiment earlier clerics of Mahte wore have been
killed and this knowledge lost.
Worshipers: Worshipers of Mahte are few and far between.
As most inhabitants of the Issian Peninsula either believe
that Mahte is an evil demon that will bring the Gods of the
Watchful Storm’s wrath upon them or they are completely
unaware of her existence. Most who come to worship
her are either members of families that have continued
to worship the goddess in secret for hundreds of years or
happened upon some ancient writings penned by one of
Mahte’s saints by chance.
While the majority of the knowledge of rites and
prayers to Mahte has been lost, some forms of minor
prayers and rituals have survived as folklore within the
Issian culture. While these prayers are considered dangerous, those who face life-threatening illness often feel they
have nothing to lose.

Sample Blessing: “Thy journey is the reward, may it be
fruitful and never dull.”

Symbol of Myn

Favored Weapon: Dagger

Myn is one of the few God’s of the Issian Peninsula who
could be said to have any interest in the welfare of the
mortals who populate the world.
Myn is the sister of Syn. Myn is a clever goddess who,
though sometimes aloof, is the incarnation of good luck
and fortune. Most often, her avatar takes the form of an
attractive nude woman with the head of a cat. Myn rarely
stays in one place and wanders the world satisfying her
curiosity. Even though she is given to traveling, she is proud
and adores creature comforts, often changing the weather
to suit her travel needs.
Myn can be considered a fickle god, but this behavior
is not born of any ill will toward mortals or their realm.
Most often it arises either because she merely does not
notice the needs of those who worship her or her focus
is so consumed by another activity that all other concerns
fallaway. She will oftentimes become aware of the attempts
of others to gain her attention even if it is too late.
Myn is the only member of the Gods of Sorrow who
escaped imprisonment by the Gods of the Watchful Storm
and the Gods of the Final Veil. Myn escaped the ire of the
other gods and, with the aid of her brother Syn, an effigy
took her place chained to the Wall of Contemplation in the

Hallow of Sorrow, the prison built to contain the Gods of
Sorrow. Fearful of giving the Gods of the Watchful Storm
cause to examine the effigy more closely, Myn keeps her
interactions with the mortal realm to a minimum. Guiding
mortals too often could alert her foes to the ruse, and she
fears the imprisonment that would soon follow.

Minor Ritual: Helping a traveler in need or leaving three
coins by dropping them on the road at the beginning of
a journey.

Priests: Because the worship of Myn is illegal on the Issian
peninsula, priests of the goddess are rare and hard to find.
Most priests try to remain hidden for fear of being captured
