Sopheriel the Erudious
Goddess of Learning and Philosophy, Sopheriel wanders the gardens of Cardia discussing all manner of topics with its denizens. She favors the evening air and the cool nights, where the light of a thousand suns come to live across the sky. She is the goddess of the stars, shedding light while Adalas sleeps. She favors rigorous testing and experimenting in her pursuit of knowledge, being one of the more orderly of Cardia. She like most of the powers of Cardia favors reason to violence, but is willing to engage in it if no other path seems available.
