Estina

Goddess of Travelers

After the breaking, there was the tragedy of those who were lost. Landmarks were upended, old maps were useless and homes were destroyed. People were forced to wander, lost. One person wandered for years, she was lost in the twists and turns of the world, using the rising sun and the stars as her only reliable landmarks. She wandered for ages, until her feet were tattered and her face was haggard. Unbeknownst to her, she was also the first dreamer, able to travel the astral plane with ease. In her dreams she called out to the gods for a destination and help finding her way home. Eventually both Soltis and Celeste answered her prayer. They sent her a child and she made her own home. That child was the demigod Estina and what was desperation in her mother, the endless wandering was excitement for her. She began to travel and never stopped, in her journey she restored a sense of wonder in the world and the mysteries that were around the corner that people had lost. That hope became worship and a demigod became a fully-fledged god.   Estina knows that all too often the journey is more valuable than the destination at the end, but also the value of coming home again. This creates a duality to her nature, sometimes she will take people where they were going, sometimes she will fling them far astray. But the journey is never dull and never without value, and somehow, they always journey to where they should be. She is a valued partner of Diasilva, taking the goddess’ wild spaces as valuable places to explore.   The faithful of Estina operate lighthouses and waystations, providing lodging and security for people on their travels. They also construct simple shrines that serve as caches along pathways and near shelters. Most sailor’s islands have a prominent shrine to Estina for traveling sailors to offer their prayers.
