Ystarte

Ystarte is goddess of magic and secrets. On seeing the devastation of the Night Wars, Ystarte advised her fellow gods to create the Needle of Heaven and weave raw magic through it to form the Skein. This stabilized the world and prevented dangerous spirits from swarming en-masse to feast on the energies unleashed by both Nyx and her foes. Thus Ystarte is the Mender, the one who discovers solutions to all difficulties. Unlike her fellow Outsiders, Ystarte remained on Vala to oversee the Skein. She dwells atop the Needle of Heaven in the vast hall of Cynosure. Here all the Outsiders meet to discuss matters of import, and Ystarte keeps the chamber ready. She continues to weave and repair the Skein, sending out her araneas, or Skein spiders, to patch up any holes in the vast web of magic. The araneas also entrap and eliminate any threats to the Skein, such as rogue mages. Ystarte is one of the three patrons of the College of Keepers. The templars of Ystarte, the Owl Knights, also play an important role in regulating magic and ensuring the sanctity of the Skein, particularly in northern Altea.
