Xan Yae (zan YAY) is a Power with some measure of popularity in Wearth. She has temples scattered in hidden places across the land. Having little patience for petty divine rivalries, she has only a few like-minded allies, but places herself in opposition to Pyremius and Pholtus, whose lights destroy her beloved shadows. She appears to be of any age or sex, but always slender and graceful, weilding a pair of magic falchions that can shrink to a the size of table knives.
Reality depends upon three metaphysical ideals; the Universal Mind (the universe and all things in it exist because the mind created and maintain them), the Perpetual Harmony (life is balanced, symmetry is in all things, achieving a similar state puts one in harmony with nature), and Internal Peace (martial and mental activities must be mastered to attain a higher level of existence.) Flamboyance and waster energy have no place in the Lady's realm. The extremes of evil and good must be sought out and tempered with harmony to maintain balance.
Xan Yae's clerics are agents of harmony and discipline. They seek out radical factions, alighments, and politics and bend them toward balance. They train others in the simple arts of war, hone the minds of those open to mental challenges, scour the world to find evidence of teh Universal Mind, and seel gurus of advanced physical and mental abilities for knowledge and self-elevation. They are not passive beings, but actively seek change to ensure the stability of the universe. Their prayer time is at dusk.
