Ynir

Ynir is the god of literature and literacy, the patron of the Artist, Sage, and the Scribe. His is the power to accurately render and describe, to write and to read, and to pass on information. It's common practice for someone who writes a letter or records information to say a prayer to Ynir to avoid mistakes. Similarly, artists acknowledge Ynir before beginning and upon completing paintings, particularly illuminations on manuscripts, tapestries that relate stories, and any such attempt to use art to capture the truth.
Followers of Ynir believe that information not recorded and saved for later use is information lost. They consider literacy an important gift of the gods, one that should be spread and taught. His followers are scribes and scholars devoted, like their patron, to preserving written works, and also experiencing them, for they say that Ynir himself is hidden within the lines, shapes, and passages of all written works. Priests of Ynir take an oath of charity as well, compelling them to accept the requests of others to write letters and transcribe information.
Ynir is the son of Ylora and has the powers of a 15th level Wizard, and a 10th level Cleric.
The god's followers tend to be individuals, united by their shared faith but not overly concerned with religious hierarchy and protocol. This behaviour is supported by the fact that Ynir's blessings of divine magic are more often bestowed on those who lose themselves in written works than on those who fancy themselves part of any temple or religious order. Contemplation of the faith's most holy book, the Tome of Universal Harmony, is the most effective way to become deserving of Ynir's blessings.
