They may be a bit more quiet than the other gods, but the quieter they are, the harder they strike when pissed. (Unless you're Patrick, the exception) ::nods sagely::

Winter's winds are sleeping now
The sun is on the rise
Spring will come again somehow
Make clear the cloudy skies

I have been the primary deity of the Tandraian royal family for several generations now. The worship accorded me has always been more than satisfactory and it is my pleasure to be connected to the Corin family in that capacity. Not long after Klethe was born, I was struck by the knowledge that trying times were coming upon the family. Times that would test not only them, but all of the Tandraian people. And so I took measures to do what I could to lessen the difficulties. With the aid of the then court mage, I created rings. One ring for each member of the family, from the King and Queen to each of their children. As each child was born, another ring would be created. Each ring contains a piece of my own essence and gives them the quality of artifacts. Each has separate powers, many minor but also two major; a power and an immunity. Each of these is related at least in part to the personality of the wearer. The gem contained in each is unique and no two rings share the same color gem. In these rings I included a retaliatory power in the event that one of the wearers is killed. It is a rather painful experience that can kill those of lesser power. However, there is none that is not affected to some extent or another. I do not like my most ardent worshippers treated badly. And yes, it is true that there are one or two people that I favor. However, that is only to be expected. I have also allowed the rings of the two members of the family that have died permanently to be used by others; one the husband of Princess Raiena and the other by Danielle Sanchez. I granted this at the request of Queen Estrella. This does put both the young woman and her family in the realm of being an official part of the Corin family now and I look upon them in this capacity. Lately I have decided to take an even more active interest in these affairs and I shall be making my own mark once again so that my influence shall not be forgotten.

Sun dancers
Bringing song to life
With forlorn drumbeat
With feathers bright

I am the eye with which the Universe
Beholds itself, and knows it is divine.
All harmony of instrument and verse,
All prophecy and medicine are mine;
All light of art or nature-to my song
Victory and praise, in its own right, belong.
-Percy Bysshe Shelley
