Drinda

Drinda


History:
Drinda is a Soulist Goddess who revealed herself as one of the True Gods through Human prophets during the Great Wars. She is a wild Goddess who is as like to send a gentle rain as to send a furious wind or thundering storm. She is revered for her life giving rain, but feared for her devastating storms.



Relationships:
Drinda is the sister of Arinda, the Goddess of the Sky, and is the wife of Salnus, the God of Oceans, Lakes, and Rivers. Drinda and Salnus are a shining symbol of devotion and matrimonial duty as they are both dependent on each other, trading their precious water back and forth between them in the endless water cycle. Drinda is more or less ambivalent to the Mortal realm.



Appearance and Emissaries:
Drinda appears as a female Asian human woman with black hair. She is usually dressed in stormy grey and black silks studded with sapphires and topazes in the shape of rain drops.



She is represented on the mortal plane by a sacred crystal vial containing a cloud that eternally rains.

The Church of Drinda:
The Church of Drinda is primarily concerned with appeasing the wild Storm Goddess. They pray for Drinda to bring life-nourishing rains, but to stay her fierce mood swings which bring her terrible winds and darts of lightning from the sky. Followers of Drinda tend to be Clerics, Monks, and Rogues.
