Donyra (2e)

DONYRA

(Goddess of Storms and Weather)

Priest’s Version

Realms of Responsibility

The third born of the sisters, Donyra is the patron of the sea and those who sail on it. She is patron of the wind and the weather she brings on it. She is an adrenaline junkie and thrives on conflict. She is usually viewed by her seafaring worshippers as someone to appease, rather than a being who will help in times of storm. She dislikes calm people who won’t ruffle to her circumstances. Donyra is the gossip of the gods. Contrary to most of the other gods whose power is limited to The Wold and its worshippers, Donyra can hear gossip spoken anywhere.
