Taleisin, Bastard of the Unseason
Although all religions of the world recognize the five gods, each has a slightly different theological interpretation of them.
Taleisin is the Wealding incarnation/translation of the Trickster God, also known as the Bastard of the Unseason. Taleisin is the last of the five gods. He is the god of all things without a place or out of season. People are more likely to pray to be spared his attention than to receive it. However, as the god of balance, the Bastard is treated as a god of last resort, when all other hope for justice or mercy is gone. At death, any person not taken up by one of the other gods will probably be taken by the Bastard (unless the person chooses to remain sundered from all of them).
"Signs of the Bastard's holy presence tend to be unmistakable. The screaming, the altercations, the people running in circles—all that was lacking was something bursting into flame." ―Learned Lewko describes a funeral rite occasioned by a miracle of the Bastard (in Lois McMaster Bujold's The Hallowed Hunt)The elemental chaos, is the mirror plane of the Bastard is filled with incoherent demons and writhing elements and mutable elementals. It’s also known as the Bastard's Hells.
