Ashotene

Goddess of Medicine & Healing

The goddess of healers and doctors Ashtone is, surprisingly, the first to advocate stinginess among her followers. She is a practical goddess and insists that if a wound can be treated through mundane means, then explore those first. Any healer who gained their knowledge through Ashtone is also a skilled medic and will spend years of their lives in medical training and practice before the goddess will grant them the ability to perform even minor healing spells. Shrines of Ashtone are also cleared out as medical facilities, giving the healers a place to work and the healed a place to recuperate. More often shrines to the goddess are simply placed where there is healing to be done. Ashtone is also a major advocate for cleanliness.
Ashtone has two major symbols, her common one displays her magical healing touch, a laying on of hands, her other symbol is shown by her faithful, a stitched and bandaged wound.
The goddess was once an angel of Celeste, the soul of a healer that had passed on and the goddess refined into an angel, empowered to heal. She flew great distances to provide her healing touch and gradually began to gain power from faith, beginning her rise to becoming a goddess in her own right.
There is a secret cult of Ashtone that act as “angels of death.” The “angels” meet as a group and discuss their patients and if they as a group decide that one of their member’s patients is beyond healing, they will give them a peaceful death. These followers, typically the most senior clerics of Ashtone, are experts on the use of poisons and typically pay homage to Bern as well.
