Divine Domains

Wytris is a goddess of the night sky and moon, and the patron goddess of the kingdom Lenif.

Holy Books & Codes

Wytris's teachings are spread across several holy books, the most commonly printed of which is titled Dusksong. It is a collection of parables chronicling the experiences of Wytris before she came to Lenif, as well as common rituals and teachings curated by the clergy. The book itself is small and simply made with an orange cover and thin paper. The writing itself is generally straightforward and easy to understand, with many of the parables aimed towards children.

Tenets of Faith

The mythology of Wytris's creation states that the moon Temmu became jealous of the sun Baelt, and sought to create a protector to rival Suriel. After finding a suitable locaton, Wytris began her work.   Wytris is seen as the protector of the land of Lenif and its people, a task she took upon herself nearly one hundred years ago. To those under her protection, she ensures protection from creatures of the night that might seek to do them harm, and guidance to the afterlife after they die. Her clerics and most devoted followers are said to be invited to her plane to act as her servants and aid her in continuing to protect her flock once they pass on.   She abhors vampires, shades, and all others that use the cover of darkness to harm others.

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Wytris appears as a thin, elegant figure with a feminine, humanoid build. She has the face of an owl, the scaled claws of a dragon, and antlers made of pure starlight. Beneath silver and black robes, she has the long legs of a heron. She towers above mortals, standing at roughly 13 feet tall.   She is most often depicted with a starry night sky, and a unique longsword whose blade fades from impossibly black at its handle to stark white at its tip. The sword itself, known as Falling Sky, is almost 9 feet long.
