Bahs

"She walks as if she treads pure slumber, resting softly on your eyelids until you drift into your tired mind. She's the presence you feel in the witching hours when the world is quiet..."

Timely Treading

Stories liken the silent steps of Bahs to the whispers you never hear, the words left unspoken, and the pause before a breath. Paintings show her as a shadow on the clouds, resting as she drifts on by like a dream, her simple black dress floating across the stars.
Those who believe in Bahs trust her to be their silent guardian, simply providing a prayer every night for her watchfulness and keeping a candle burning for her shadow to be flung over them like a second blanket. Bahs asks nothing in return for their faith, but many of those who believe in her offer protection in the night, providing to their community what she provides to them.

A Shade of the Light

While some believe the night is something to be afraid of, Bahs represents that night is a comfort and a necessary place to be before the dawn. She represents restfulness and quiet, bringing a softness to an otherwise harsh and undeterred world around you.
Those who devote themselves wholly to her service are named the Dusken, they travel across the Eight Lands offering their services as nightwatchmen to cities and towns in exchange for food and shelter. They also make themselves available to those who wish to perform certain ceremonies during the witching hours, allowing their fellow believers to conduct themselves safely with the presence of Bahs through the Dusken.
