by The Culling. This does not stop them from performing
rituals and blessings to those who seek them out.
Priests of Myn tend to fall within one of two sects;
Dvorian (dedicated to Saint Dvor) or Jardaic (dedicated to
Saint Jardin). Members of the Dvorian sect tend to claim
an area, often no larger than a region containing two or
three villages, and watch over it. They offer aid to travelers who pass through and help those in need who reside
there. Priests of this sect often have opulent hidden shrines
devoted to providing physical, as well as spiritual comfort
to those who seek it out.
Priests of the Jardaic sect tend to be wanderers who
rarely stay in one area for long. They travel the roads tending weary travelers, passing messages between the hidden
enclaves of the Dvorians and taking care of the few secret
idols to Myn that dot the roadways on the Issian Peninsula.
This sect also tends to proselytize to those they meet in
the hope of keeping the worship of the goddess alive. Of
course, they take care not to let these potential converts run
them afoul of The Culling.
Worshipers: Though worshiping Myn is illegal on the
Issian Peninsula, those preparing for long journeys, rolling
dice in a back hall betting parlor, or wishing for the sun to
dry out their rain-soaked fields, often offer up a quiet prayer
after looking around to make sure no one is watching.
Many who find themselves without a home often seek
the goddess’ blessing in the hopes that she will watch over
them as they live their lives on the streets of villages or the
byways that cross the peninsula.

Symbol of Paladrus
Paladrus is the lover of Mahte and the brother of Tulhesa.
He sometimes appears as a huge silver serpent with one eye
removed, other times as a muscular man with prematurely
graying hair also with a single eye.
Paladrus believes he was partially responsible for the
death of his sister as he did not watch over her as she slept.
While he hunted the Great Hind, Tulhesa was slain by a
barbarous monster known as Balar. To atone for his mistake, Paladrus plucked out his left eye and placed it in the
night sky so that he could watch over her funeral shrine
during the night. The waxing and waning of the moon

is but the blinking of his excised eye. His remaining eye
retained its brilliance and became the sun which watches
the world during the day. Paladrus is thus able to watch
over the memorial built to honor his slain sister and protect
it from the ravages of decay.
Before the formation of the world Paladrus was devoted
to the arts. But after the death of his sister Tulhessa, the god
found himself in conflict with Ohnr. The two gods fought
over how best to memorialize the goddess; Paladrus wanted
to build the world he and his sister often dreamt of, Onhr
believed such an act diminished the goddess. Ever since the
two have fought. Onhr seeking to destroy all of creation,
Paladrus to preserve it.
For centuries armies devoted to the two gods clashed
in a titanic struggle. However, Onhr and the gods of the
Watchful Storm captured Paladrus through treachery.
Ohnr nailed his rival to the wall of the Hall of Sorrows
where Paladrus hangs to this day. While imprisoned he has
