The Knowing Mistress
The Knowing Mistress (a.k.a. Ioun)
Revered by seers, sages, and teachers of all walks of life,
the Knowing Mistress guided the growth of civilization
throughout the Age of Arcanum like sunlight guides
the branches of a tree. She was grievously wounded by
the Chained Oblivion during the Calamity, and her
followers are now hunted by agents of her ancient foes as
she recovers in her weakened influence. Her devout now
worship in private, spreading knowledge, philosophy,
and lore anonymously through traceless channels.
Common representations show the Knowing Mistress
as a graying, mature woman of welcoming, matronly
smile, swathed in billowing robes and scarves that fan into
books and scrolls.
The Knowing Mistress has no public holy day, for
her public worship was shattered during the Calamity,
and she has since fallen into half-remembered myth.
Only in Emon has the Knowing Mistress’s faith been
resurrected—though her worship by the intellectuals of
the city bears little resemblance to the knowledge-seekers
of old.

- Unmask those who would destroy the Knowing Mistress. Learn their secrets and unveil them to the world.
- Uphold and teach the importance of reason, perception, and truth in guiding one’s emotions and path.
- Condemn those who lie, even among your allies, for evil folk gain power when their followers obscure the truth. Never stoop to the level of liars.
