Istus (Greyhawk Action)

Greyhawk Action!

The lady of fate, is often mentioned in prayers but attracts little true devotion. Her cult is monastic and rarely makes a spectacle of itself.

The Baklunish pantheon is headed by Istus, but she rarely intervenes and her teachings concern few. Day-to-day affairs are handled by more practical gods.

She is honored in the Common pantheon as the lady of fate, but her cult is small and poor.

In Synchretism she is seen as the power behind the small moon, Celene, the Suel god Celestian who watches over the stars and planets. As Cyndor he is the Suel god of time and continuity, the handyman of Lendor. She has sponsored ascended humans who are less distant than she is, trying to guide people to live regimented, industrious lives for their own betterment. They include Labelas Enorteh the elven god of longevity and time, Merikka the Oerdian calendar godess and regulator of seasons, and finally Bralm the Suel god of industriousness and insects.
