Esther

The Starkeeper

In an ancient story, it is said that there was a moment in history when all of humanity prayed on the same day for deliverance from the terrors that visited them in slumber. These prayers gave birth to the Incarnation of Nightmares, who granted their wishes and took their nightmares away. Subsequently, human imagination and ambition filled the vast emptiness that resulted from their prayers, giving birth to the Incarnation of Dreams who proceeded to craft creativity into visions to give back to humanity. The next day, all of humanity rejoiced, praising the night sky and exonerating the two newborn saviors with festivals and praises in their honor. These festivities gave definition to the Incarnation of Nightmares and the Incarnation of Dreams, and subsequent prayers to them personified them into the sister goddesses Zelseris and Esther.
The younger of the two sisters, Esther is exalted as a delicate artisan of the night who weaves desires and thoughts into visions for the sleeping mind. Esther shares a deep bond with Zelseris, so much so that the two even share one primary church. However, because the stars are a soothing backdrop in the night sky that compliment dreams, Esther is believed to be responsible for signs in the stars and thus also hailed as a goddess of divination and prophecy. As a result, Esther is a more popular goddess than Zelseris.
