Drych-La
As a lake of glass am I, untroubled surface and tranquil depths. As a hidden spring am I, filled with life untapped. What secrets dwell within the self, I see, for I am stilled and clear.Not all water churns with the will of the weather or flows with the force of the tides. There are hidden pools beneath the earth no light has touched, no eye has seen, places untroubled by a single ripple. Drych-La, offspring of Li-Ban, is the Titan of these places. A patron of untapped potential energy and wisdom, of calm and tranquility that gives life, Drych-La is favored by monks and those seeking peace, between nations families and within the self.

Holy Books & Codes
The Glass Mantras, recited by contemplatives around the world, are the only universally agreed upon holy texts of Drych-La. Treatises on the nature of Drych-La's peace penned by the dragonborn of Okarthel and the channelers of Kast differ vastly in individual interpretation.
The denizens of Tilmachelon believe that Drych-La is a counterbalancing force to Nis, the Kindler of the Flame Within, and hold that meditation on these two is the key to anchoring one's soul during the use of Blood Magic.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Much like the watertable beneath the stones, Drych-La's motivations are largely unknown. The titan rarely intervenes in worldly affairs, except to serve as an exemplar of inner tranquility to those in search of enlightenment. Sages argue about whether Drych-La's will remain passive forever, holding true to that image of tranquility, or whether the titan is simply waiting like a secret wellspring for the time to take decisive action.
