Chista

The Knowing Mistress

Revered by seers, sages, and teachers of all walks of life, Chista guided the growth of civilization throughout the Age of Arcanum like sunlight guides the branches of a tree. As she was grievously wounded by the Chained Oblivion during the __________, her followers are now hunted by agents of her ancient foes as she recovers. Her devout now worship in private, spreading knowledge, philosophy, and lore anonymously through traceless channels.
Chista sits among the infinite library that fills the hidden realm of the Endless Athenaeum, her celestial servants cataloging all known things as she inspires those who pray for her insight and guidance.
