### The Gods:

## Summary

### Enchanter

In *Enchanter*, when Minalan was desperately seeking assistance from Briga, without a flame or any other way to invoke her, Ishi appears to come to his aid.

In return for her help she wants to become self sustaining like Briga.

Minalan made that iteration of her self sustaining with conscious control over her form and continuity of experience by using the Alaran stone discovered in the snowstone mountain.

### Court Wizard

*Ishi’s voice was magically alluring, the lore said, and when she sang it not only ushered in the spring season, it could affect everyone who heard it*.

In *Court Wizard* Ishi's avatar Baroness Amandice converts her home to a House of Pleasure and calls herself Lady Pleasure. She also contends against Pentandra through out most of the book. In her own way Ishi tries to help out against the evil forces.

She sings causing "*Ishi's Night*" on the entire town to generate enough Life Force to hold off the Necromancy forces at bay from invading Vorone. That is until some people can regain enough of their wits to take care of the *Nemovorti.*

Also during Court Wizard before she heralds in "Ishi's Night" at the *Woodland Ball,* Minalan threatens her to remove the persistence effect if she doesn't start helping Pentandra instead of working against her. He also promised her that if he did that, he would wait until she manifested in one of her other forms, such as the young maiden or the old crone and then make that iteration self-sustaining. Then he had to ask her for help in removing the Blue magic that was placed on Alya and in returned promised that he would build her a huge temple. Ishi gave me a bottle of magic potion for Alya which resulted in Sevendor experience a smaller version of "Ishi's Night".

Later when the Palace at Verone was attacked by Nemovorti and Draugens, Pentandra summoned Ishi to help them.

> *“Now you’re in trouble!” Pentandra shouted, defiantly, as they all stared at the goddess with their smoldering eyes.  “She got out her good jewels!”*

### Thaumaturge

She makes a brief appearance to answer some questions for Minalan, Pentandra and Teran and then she "winked" at Teran.
