The Hands of Glitastjarna

Overview

  Everyone on Liggjavard knows the story of the divine Dagstjarna, who brought forth the realm of Hvatvetna from the Void. Each of her daughters is associated with a sphere in the realm. Her middle daughter, Glitastjarna, is the goddess aligned with Liggjavard.  
There are no other people's children.
— precept of the Hands of Glitastjarna
  Glitastjarna is the goddess of living and growing things. Her followers make it their business to care for others as best they can. Her clerics are healers who will go where the need takes them. There are wealthy healing clinics in capital cities dedicated to Glitastjarna, but also walk-in clinics in poor neighborhoods, tents in war zones, and orphanages in slums run by the Hands. The followers of Glitastjarna do not believe that the healing power of their goddess should only be reserved for the rich.  
Hands of Glitastjarna are helpful, super-polite, and they leave those eyeball runes every-damn-where in ink that doesn't wash out. What's that about?

  Glitastjarna is known to care more about beginnings than endings, and will not always consider all the details of her decisions. Some of Glitastjarna's most fervent followers believe that she has granted not just every being, but every object a spirit of life. They draw the Eyes of Glitastjarna sigil on things to help the spirits inside see the rest of the world that Glitastjarna has granted them. Nobody knows for sure if that actually works. But clerics doing Glitastjarna's work in the world can use them to see events at a distance if they are strong enough.
