Still she watches, tending with care each and every person as they approach the time when they will enter her kingdom in the mountains that scrape the heavens.

But this is the north, not other soft lands, and the life here is harsh and without room for the weak.

The Scintillating Mystery is inscrutable. Cloaked in both shining radiance and blackest night, the patron of thieves passes judgement with whispered words. Many a weary wanderer has found their travel delayed by the Hidden Thunder, or their purses lightened by devotes. Yet the Eternal Watcher demands balance in such acts, with aid given to those lost, and charity to those in need. The Pale Wanderer whispers in the dark that peace will come at the end of all. Granting her dark champions knowledge and the tools of civilization, the Kind Mother seeks to ease our lives amidst the chaos of nature. But when we can struggle no more, the Soul Shephard brings us to her mountain kingdom for eternal rest. For the Goddess of death is the kindest of all. The unmoving monarch of the frozen lands, the Ice Queen embodies the inevitable return of winter from the reprieve of summer. She is a grim and cold ruler, untouched by pleas or actions, be they good or ill. Her capricious nature brings rewards seemingly at random, yet always in service to some end that only she can see. From her throne of ice she oversees all that occurs and all that must occur, the weight of fate holding her to the cycles. Speaking in prophecy even the other Gods find her words bring confusion, so only the few enlightened minds can grasp at the truth. The Verdant Lord commands the living to struggle, and expects to be obeyed. The Harsh Father tests all beings without pause, and has no pity for the weak. Prayers and pleas are scorned, while boons fall on those of merit who toil. The bounty of harvest is bought in sweat, summer's heat paid in blood, and those who shed tears at the cruelty of life are mocked. The guidance of the Brutal Gardener transforms the meek into the strong and pits the white champions against the dark. Star Thief meddles unceasingly in the fates of mortals and Gods alike, unmaking the weave of fate for both good and ill. Prayers are always granted by the Sparkling Trickster, but the unworthy receive what they ask for, instead of what they want. Such is the way of the Twinkling Gaze, a creature of chaos who delights in games of chance.
