Kynie

A Kynie was a legendary messenger of the gods and usually one of fire and fury. Their presence was not a welcome omen.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 18, US HC p.274 
==In Kellanved's Reach==
Heboric made his way to the Valley of Hermits two days' journey east of Li Heng to take counsel with its holy men and women and expecting to find a place of quiet retreat and meditation. But instead he found crowds of celebrants holding what appeared to be a religious festival. One filthy, wild-eyed pilgrim approached him to excitedly claim that a Kynie had miraculously come among them. Heboric was off-put by the man's enthusiasm as a Kynie's appearance was generally not one that was welcomed.
He was brought before Sessin and three other ascetics who confirmed the visitation, saying the Kynie had been a woman accompanied by fire and rage who shook the ground with her wrath. According to Sister Hav, the Kynie had then warned that The Protectress was a false god suborning the people and among those seducing worshippers into new cults, although the four ascetics disputed the Sister's recollection.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 18, US HC p.274-277
Sessin later took Heboric aside to say Sister Hav was not so far from the truth as Li Heng had become a breeding ground of nascent cults. Among them were those of Hood's Mortal Sword, Dassem Ultor, the so-called "Shadow Throne", and the Protectress herself. He suggested Heboric follow the Kynie's exhortation and travel to the city they called the Whore on the Idryn.Kellanved's Reach, Chapter 18, US HC p.276-277
