She is predominantly worshipped by Druids, Rangers and sky sailors as well as her own priesthood. She touches the lives of all that live in the Sundered Sky almost constantly for the wind is a constant thing within the Skies, The Lady of the Winds can be capricious and easy to anger, but also beneficial and loving. It is her winds that fills a skyships sails and speeds a lover back to the arms of his beloved , but she can just as easily use those same winds to tear the ship apart dooming the same lover to a shrieking death in the depths of the Void. To reflect this paradox, the Lady of winds is worshipped in the following guises:The Daughter of the Breeze; Often depicted as a playful child, This is the guise of the Lady of the Winds who bestows the cooling breeze.The Mother of Rain; Depicted as a robed figure cradling a babe. This is the guise of the Lady of the Winds who brings the life giving rains and also fills the skyships sails with windsMatriarch of the Becalmed; Depicted as a stern faced dowager. Every Captain curses the time lost when this aspect of the Lady of the Winds turns her attention to his ship. Many ships carry surplus cargo to be sacrificed should they ever become becalmed in the Void. It is believed that this lost cargo is delivered to beleaguered believers by the Mother of Rain.Mistress of Storms; Depicted as a stark beauty. Many islands and ships maintain shrines to this much feared aspect of the Lady of the Winds, hoping to appease her terrible fury.Queen of the Vortex: Depicted with half-formed lich-like features, This is the most dreaded and destructive of all the Lady of the Winds. Vortex are huge, thankfully rare, windstorms which have the power to destroy small islands. Most islands hold a ceremony to appease the Queen of the Vortex once a year. During this ceremony, called the Appeasement, a cupful of water for each inhabitant of the isle is consigned to the void.Temples dedicated to the Lady of the Winds always exposed to the elements and are often found on islands that are scoured by high winds. Occasionally effigies of the different aspects of the Lady of the Winds can be found in these temples mysteriously carved by the winds</blockquote>
