Ishran - Goddess of Health, Atonement and Compassion
Ishran is the Goddess of Health, Atonement and Compassion; and also known as the Everlight. She spreads the message of understanding and optimism in even the darkest of places. She believes that the corrupt can be redeemed, a mindset that led to a betrayal by the Lord of the Nine Hells, who decimated her followers during a previous calamity. This misplaced trust caused many priests to strike her name from historical records, leaving her title and faith scattered to obscurity for much of the recent age. Comparatively recently has her faith been rediscovered and her temples returned to prominence, and is now among the most common deities again. The Everlight’s followers are often rural healers and community philosophers, offering a voice of reason and empathy in angry and cynical times. Followers of Ishran can be found all over the world fighting against the darkness in the world that cannot be redeemed.

Ishran is represented as a beautiful, strong woman with dark skin and light hair, rising betwixt a set of angelic ivory wings. She often will appear to her followers as a brilliant white Swan. Myths suggest she is the sister to Ollandra - Goddess of Medicine, Affliction, Alchemy, and Aging; although there relationship is a complex one.Commandments of Ishran
