Description:

​

Niavin appears as a beautiful woman split in twain.  Her left side is raven-tressed while her right is blonde.  Her left eye is black while her right is blue.  An aura of light and shadow surrounds her.

​

History/Relationships:

 

Niavin is the daughter of Rhoden and Sha’Harrai.  She is welcoming of both of her parent’s alignments into her worship.  Though she is not opposed to the night, she does oppose the workings of Raistrick and darkness.

 

Niavin is given worship by many farmers, who entreat her for more time in which to work, as well as any whose business is dependent upon the lighted sky.

 

Dogma:

 

All things to their appointed times.  Rise with the sun, and rest when it does.  Divide your work accordingly to what must be done in light and what can wait until darkness.

 

Clergy and Temples:

 

Niavin has few full temples built in her honor.  She primarily has shrines within temples of Rhoden and Sha’Harrai and less formal, shared structures in many rural communities.  Her worshippers are also welcome to pay their respects within druidic groves.

 

Niavin maintains a small number of paladins in her service.  Their primary focus is the eradication of undead, particularly those who abhor the sun. Her followers request spells at either the rising or setting of the sun.

 

Special Abilities:

 

Niavites are granted low-light vision.  Niavites gain special abilities as they progress in their dedication to worshipping the Daypillar. Unless otherwise specified, these powers are supernatural abilities usable at will by the caster only.
