One of the two hermaphroditic deities of the Empyrean Court, Aeldryn is the personification of arcane mastery, a god/dess of potent occult sorcery. S/he explicitly does not grant such magic; Aeldryn simply is the deity of those forces and the knowledge of how such power is wielded. The priesthood considers the use the pronoun of one's own gender to be most appropriate if the speaker is a wielder of arcane magic; otherwise, it is respectful to use the gender opposite of one's own, to reflect that the essence of the deity is the "eternal other."

Also called the Stormborn, Mother of Sorcery & Father of Wizardry, and Lord/Lady of the First Spell.

  • Portfolio: Magic
  • Depiction: Aeldryn is depicted as a tall, willowy figure of hermaphroditic features, features masculine and feminine. S/he is often clad in flowing, billowing robes, with long, braided hair of floor-length. Aeldryn is also depicted as having six arms, each of which bears one of the classical Arcane Implements: an orb, a staff, a wand, a rod, a tome, and a short blade that is slightly larger than a dagger. S/he is surmounted by an aura of swirling occult symbols and signs, the most powerful of which coalesce into a halo around Aeldryn's head.
  • Symbols: Aeldryn's holy symbol is the Empyrean Star, with a six-armed wheel in its center.
  • Origins: The moment Aevo reached into the strange potential of the Astral Sea to change it according to his whim - the first act of magic - he was plunged into a whirling maelstrom of pure magical power: the Spellstorm. Out of the interaction between this storm of pure magical potential and Aevo's divine will, Aeldryn was born, dancing the eternal Spelldance. S/he embraced Aevo, then kissed him, and whispered to him of all the arts of magic.

The Spellstorm (Empyrean Heaven)

The potent and eternally-raging storm of pure magical power that is the Spellstorm is the realm of Aeldryn, the deity of magic. Those who wielded occult power in life without being cast screaming into one of the Hells for their abuses of power come to rest here, where they can indulge in their love of shaping magical power for all of eternity. This realm is extremely reactive to a magician's will, allowing them to reshape the nature of pockets of this realm's power. At the center of the arcane maelstrom is the Citadel of Aeldryn, a floating citadel of tall spires that is the home of the deity of magic and his/her sorcerous angelic servants.
