Majere is the god of organization, industry, and control, as well as meditation, faith, and dreams. Majere creates and inspires the martial arts and all disciplines that lead to an honest confrontation of oneself. Majere’s worshippers seek simple lives, devoid of luxurious trappings but filled with meditation, self-discipline, and deep thought.
He worked hand-in-hand with Paladine in creating and populating Krynn. According to some scholars, Majere’s crowning creations are the insects of Krynn, who emulate the quiet god’s unassuming grace, introspective complexity, and ceaseless industry. As Astinus once said, “Each of Majere’s insects is an elegant complexity of legs and armor that no dwarven machine could ever match.”
The Dreamsender is contemplative and thoughtful, a quiet god who exercises an economy of speech that makes his pronouncements singularly profound. Like his beloved insects, Majere has a humble aspect that can be easily overlooked. But, like the insects, Majere’s wisdom is ubiquitous. Majere does not compete for worshippers but rather acts to rebuild the faith of the people in all the old gods of Good. The gods of Evil are another matter. Majere combats them with merciless precision, particularly Chemosh, lord of the dead.
