Tishina
1st of Sun's Swell, AE 721
With the sword, she seeks peace.
Peace does not equate to mercy, nor to kindness as Tishina's followers know well. While she is a goddess of peace, Tishina has been known to be callous, cruel, and manipulative in order to achieve her ends.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Coiled rattlesnake – snakes in general, but rattlesnakes in particular are a commonly used symbol of Tishina. It is said that it comes from a snake's tendency to flee and posture, always using nonviolent options before resorting to a deadly strike.
Golden wings – worshippers often wear necklaces or bracelets with pendants depicting outstretched golden wings, remniscent of those Tishina is often pictured with.
Tenets of Faith
- Speak diplomatically, clearly, and honestly, for much conflict can be attributed to misunderstandings or things said in anger.
- Be charitable to those in need.
- Serve as a mediator when conflicts arise.
- Always seek peaceful, diplomatic solutions to conflicts first.
- Do not allow pacifism to make you weak, unprepared, or uninformed.
- Never make a threat that you would not follow through on.
Reign
Legend says that before ascending to godhood, Tishina was a half-elven queen, as well as being a highly talented enchantress. She carefully and strategically conquered neighboring kingdoms without the use of armed conflict. Through diplomacy, mind-altering magics, and the occasional choking of supply lines, all that she wanted would become eventually hers.
Available information on the process of her ascension is even more vague. Some people say Kondrati granted her the power to bridge the gap between her own already exceptional powers and true godhood. Others would point out that is has long been known that there are dark rituals which those thirsty for power may undertake, and perhaps there is a reason that the country she supposedly ruled is a total unknown, seemingly lost to time.
