Diancastra

Diancastra was a deity in the Giant Pantheon. She was a minor trickster goddess, unlike her older sisters Hiatea and Iallanis.   Divine Realm   Much like the giant deity Skoraeus Stonebones, Diancastra had no realm of her own and instead simply wandered.   History   She was fathered by Annam All-Father himself, but her mother is unknown, speculated to be a Cloud or Storm Giant. Unlike her sister Hiatea, she did not earn her divinity through feats of strength, but rather by acts of wit and wile. She accomplished this by stealing a magical necklace from the Sea Mother, disguising herself as a Kuo-Toa and sneaking into the Sea Mother's palace.   After her theft from the Sea Mother, she soon announced herself to Annam right before his departure from Volatia. Citing her sister as Hiatea as a reason why she should be given divine status as well, Annam issued her one task to prove it: to circle the earth in an hour or less, knowing she could not accomplish this task. She went into Stronmaus's library, took one of his atlases, and tore out a page illustrating the world. She drew a circle around the world, and presented it towards the All-Father. In a fit of humor, Annam made her a demi-goddess, trusting her to leave some joy in the face of his departure.   Worshipers   Diancastra was sometimes worshiped as a fertility goddess by non-evil giants seeking to be blessed with a child. Yet this her blessings often came at a cost, with children having the chance to born as one of "Diancastra's brood". Such giants were Fey, wild, and generally naughty in nature.   Temples   In the Outlands a sprawling, richly decorated and well-staffed temple of Diancastra stood within The Lady's Ward of the city Sigil.
