Edrun

Edrun is the goddess of things lost and forgotten. Many characters keep a little charm to Edrun to aid in searching for treasure or ruins of the Before.

## Origin

"The great sea swallows many things. You've seen it. Throw something overboard and down it goes past the clouline, never to be seen again.

Yet nothing truly disappears. We just forget about it. Someone else always remembers, and when that someone is no one, then that someone is Edrun.

Back when the world was raw, the many gods treated it as a blank canvas, filling it with life and miracles. Drunk on their own creative power they brought countless beings into existence, only to favor some and forget others.

It is said that Edrun rose from the world's waters when the God's forgotten creations outnumbered their favored ones. Her waters gently caressed these things and hid them from existence

"Everything has a place." She said. "If you don't know yours, your place is with me."

As the world evolved, more and more things were created and forgotten and Edrun treasures each and every one, not as treasures but as lost children that one day she hopes to find another home.

They say, you are only truly dead when Edrun forgets you. "

## Followers

Edrun, while a prominent diety, never formed a following big enough for organized religion to form around her. Aside from a few cults, Edrun is largely worshipped secondarily and passively by members of other religions. Finding a true follower who has devoted their life to Edrun is rare.

However, you can find more avid followers of Edrun in the Daggers and Scribe Feathers. Being two fleets that trade in information, many members have small shrines to Edrun, if they believe in the gods at all.

One place where Edrun is worshipped as a main deity is the shadowlands. The Mutants there say they have spoken to the goddess directly, as she treasures them as people the world forgot. When Mutants are integrated back into society, many began worshipping other deities.

## Behavior

Edrun is said to show herself to those in danger of being lost and forgotten themselves. This sailors who find themselves in uncharted or forbidden skies report being visited by Edrun. In addition, people who are suffering from depression and despair speak of visions of Edrun, who treats them as people that society has forgotten.

Being visited by Edrun is a double-edged sword. It is said that once you see her, you are given a choice. With one hand, she will guide you back to safety, to a world that remembers you, a home, a family. With her other hand, she will beckon you to join her as one of her lost and forgotten children. It's said that if you join her, she will reveal the world's secrets to you, but you will forsake the world and never find your way back to the place you once knew.

There are stories of Edrun taking the bodies of lost and forgotten souls as her own vessel to let her speak to mortals, but none have seen her do so in modern times.

## Appearance

Edrun is always depicted with a headpiece made of seashells and charms. She has long blue wavy hair that gently flows around her. Her eyes are set into dark blue skin that seems to feather our and drip down into a more human skintone. She is often shown in a dark blue and black corset-belted gown.
