Ioun

The Knowing Mistress

Ioun is the god of knowledge, skill, and prophecy. Sages, seers, and tacticians revere her, as do all who live by their knowledge and mental power. Corellon is the patron of arcane magic, but Ioun is the patron of its study. Libraries and wizard academies are built in her name.
According to legend, upon her departure Ioun left Caelvoran with a great repository of knowledge: Kerith-Ald. This impossible tower is a place where devoted sages attempt to learn, discover and catalog every piece of knowledge in the universe. However, most skeptics treat the existence of this tower as a sort of academic fairy tale.

Tenets of Faith

Ioun's commands are also teachings:

• Seek the perfection of your mind by bringing reason, perception, and emotion into balance with one another.

• Accumulate, preserve, and distribute knowledge in all forms. Pursue education, build libraries, and seek out lost and ancient lore.

• Be watchful at all times for the followers of Vecna, who seek to control knowledge and keep secrets. Oppose their schemes, unmask their secrets, and blind them with the light of truth and reason.
