Jantierri (2e)

JANTIERRI

(Goddess of Dreams and Prophesy)

Priest Version

Realms of Responsibility

This goddess is the patron of the future. She does not believe in fate, but believes in empowering her worshippers to shape their own future. She is also the patron of dreams. She protects the “little ones” from the “things that go bump in the night” and “the monster under the bed.” She interprets dreams of gods and men and is the oracle of the gods. She also sends out the nightmares and daymares to deliver dreams to each being.

Appearance

Bordering on the skinny side, Jantierri’s beauty is totally contrived from painstaking practice of her mannerisms, voice, and make-up. Her face appears painted like a doll. Her actual charisma is just average, but the finished result is spectacular.

Missions: having passed on a prophecy the priest may choose to accompany those who received the prophecy.
